Previous NCAPSA Events:
Policy Discussion:
The Politics of Health Care Security in Iowa and National Implications
Featuring the Honorable Jack Hatch (Senate District 33, Iowa)
June 17, 2009 Iowa state senator Jack Hatch, chairman of the White House Working Group of State Legislators for Health Reform, delivered remarks to NCAPSA members on Wednesday, June 17, 2009. Senator Hatch discussed Iowa’s landmark health care security structure, and the need for national legislation. He engaged in a lively discussion with NCAPSA members, saying “State legislators hear more often about the everyday issues of working families. Attention from federal leaders comes at a critical moment when people are struggling under the burden of soaring health care costs, and state budgets are crippled as a result."

Author Book Discussion:
The Co-Presidency of Bush and Cheney
Featuring Shirley Anne Warshaw
May 27, 2009
In late afternoon, Shirley Anne Warshaw, professor of political science at Gettysburg College and NCAPSA council member, described her exciting, new book, The Co-Presidency of Bush and Cheney. Dr. Warshaw’s told how her analysis demonstrates that Bush and Cheney were nothing less than co-presidents. Bush, the self-proclaimed "decider," focused on building what he called, a moral and civil society, anchored by a war on science and the proliferation of faith-based programs, while allowing Cheney to lead in business and foreign policy. Members and guests were intrigued with her engaging analysis. See photos of the discussion
Author Book Discussion:
Mr. Lincoln's T-mails
Featuring Mr. Tom Wheeler
April 28, 2009
Our Brown Bag Lunch Series of April 28, 2009, with author Tom Wheeler was a success. Twenty-five members and guests listened intently to Wheeler discuss his book, Mr. Lincoln’s T-Mails: How Abraham Lincoln Used the Telegraph. Wheeler’s trailblazing study of Lincoln’s use of the telegraph to exercise presidential power invited a lively dialogue and a fitting tribute to the 200 birthday of our 16 president.
