SENATE PRESIDENT NAMES MEMBERS TO ATTEND 2023 SREB LEGISLATIVE CONFERENCE

Frankfort, KY (April 6, 2023) - Last week, Senate President Robert Stivers, R-Manchester, named Senate majority caucus members to serve alongside him at the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) 2023 Legislative Work Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 10-12.

  • Senator Shelley Funke Frommeyer, R-Alexandria

  • Senator Lindsey Tichenor, R-LaGrange

  • Senator Gex Williams, R-Verona

  • Senator Max Wise, R-Campbellsville

“Each Senate member I’ve chosen to join me at this year’s SREB conference is passionate about education and will represent our chamber of Kentucky’s General Assembly,” Stivers said. “I look forward to the discussions, the ideas other states in the region offer, and the knowledge we will bring back to the commonwealth and apply to our own policies next year.”

According to its website, SREB works with its 16 member states, Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia, to improve public education at every level, from pre-K through doctorate.  They bring together policymakers from each state represented to improve education by crafting sound legislation. They also work with state organizations to collaborate, train educators, and share resources and ideas to better equip those teaching the next generation of students.

SREB is a nonpartisan, nonprofit interstate compact whose work is funded by appropriations from member states, as well as by contracts and grants from foundations and local, state, and federal agencies.
