Doyle June 26, 2018 [email protected] Washington, DC (301) 676-3882 U.S. Congress Recognizes 442 Youth with 2018 Congressional Award Gold Medal On June 21, 2018, Members of the United States Senate and House of Representatives honored 442 youth across 41 states at the 2018 Congressional Award Gold Medal Ceremony. Recipients of The Congressional Award Gold Medal have earned the highest honor Congress bestows upon a youth civilian. For a minimum of two years, each Gold Medalist logged hundreds of hours across four program areas: Voluntary Public Service, Personal Development, Physical Fitness, and Expedition/Exploration. The 2018 Gold Medal class was the largest in the program’s 39 year history, representing an unprecedented year of servant leadership. This year’s class contributed 371,280 service hours to communities near and far, an average of 840 hours per medalist. This special recognition event took place in the historic Kennedy Caucus Room of the Russell Senate Office Building, located on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. Three award ceremonies were held to accommodate family members and guests. ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl, NBC News Washington Correspondent Blayne Alexander, and Entercom’s 94.7 FRESH FM and NBC4 personality Tommy McFly each served as Masters of Ceremonies. The Presentation of Colors and National Anthem were given by the United States Capitol Police Ceremonial Unit. Invocations were provided by Reverend Patrick Conroy, Chaplain of the United States House of Representatives, and Dr. MarTeze Hammonds, Congressional Award Advisor and program volunteer. Over 50 Members of Congress attended the ceremony to present their constituents with the Gold Medal.

    Idaho Office of Lt. Governor Data Sheet As of July 21, 2016 History of Office The Office of the Lt. Governor of Idaho was created in 1890.1 Origins of the Office The Office of the Lt. Governor of Idaho was established in the Constitution of 1890 with statehood.2 Qualifications for Office The Council of State Governments (CSG) publishes the Book of the States (BOS) 2015. In chapter 4, Table 4.13 lists the Qualifications and Terms of Office for lieutenant governors: The Book of the States 2015 (CSG) at www.csg.org. Method of Election The National Lieutenant Governors Association (NLGA) maintains a list of the methods of electing gubernatorial successors at: http://www.nlga.us/lt-governors/office-of-lieutenant- governor/methods-of-election/. Duties and Powers A lieutenant governor may derive responsibilities one of four ways: from the Constitution, from the Legislature through statute, from the governor (thru gubernatorial appointment or executive order), thru personal initiative in office, and/or a combination of these. The principal and shared constitutional responsibility of every gubernatorial successor is to be the first official in the line of succession to the governor’s office. Succession to Office of Governor In 1890, Governor George L. Shoup resigned to take an elected seat in the U.S. Senate and Lt. Governor N. B. Willey served as Governor for the remainder of the term.

Mason Myers, (‘20) and Ella Endorf (‘22) studied abroad and are sharing their experiences with the newsletter. We are so proud of their accomplishments and know that they will continue to represent the Lott Institute in their future endeavors! “Studying abroad for a semester in Melbourne, Australia was one of the most rewarding things I’ve done at Ole Miss. I was nervous about being so far from home but I grew as a person and was able to experience so much. I joined a sports club, traveled all over Australia and New Zealand, and made life long friends. I took some of the most interesting classes involving Australian foreign policy and Australian culture. Overall, my experience abroad challenged me and broadened my perspective of the world.” -- Mason Myers (‘20) “I spent a month in Salerno learning all about the rich culture and history of southern Italy. I took Italian classes and conversed exclusively in Italian with my host family. I walked on the lungomare, or seafront, on the way to class each morning and spent my afternoons at the beach or shopping. On the weekends, I traveled around the Campania region, visiting Naples, Pompeii, and Caserta -- known as the “Italian Versailles.” When I wasn’t studying or traveling, I explored Salerno.

    The Honorable Dirk Kempthorne a Former Mayor, United States

    The Honorable Dirk Kempthorne A former mayor, United States Senator and a state governor, Dirk Kempthorne took office as the 49th Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior on May 26, 2006. Secretary Kempthorne’s vision was to provide stewardship for America with integrity and excellence and he worked vigorously to implement President Bush’s ambitious plan to infuse up to $3 billion into our national parks. During his tenure, Kempthorne improved the lives of American Indians, Alaska Natives and insular residents, protected and restored landscape, ocean and coastal resources, strengthened southwest border law enforcement, protected wild bird habitat and populations and conserved, managed and developed vital water resources. Immediately before becoming Secretary, Kempthorne served nearly two full terms as Governor of Idaho, elected first in 1998 and reelected in 2002. He guided Idaho through one of the worst economic downturns that the states’ have experienced since World War II. He did so while also continuing investment in education, protecting natural resources through expanded state parks and improving the quality of life for all Idahoans through innovative education, health care, and workforce development programs. Kempthorne also worked to develop consensus on management of Idaho's and the West's natural resources, including an innovative Indian water rights settlement that protected water supply and developed new approaches to species protection through state-federal partnerships. He was instrumental in achieving an historic bipartisan four-state agreement to restore salmon to rivers. Following devastating wildfires in 2000, he led the effort to improve federal and state forest health and wildlife management.
