This month's speaker is Chairman Robert Blair of the Board of Education for the Franklin Special School District. 

A Franklin native and graduate of the Franklin Special School District, Mr. Blair was elected Board Chairman of FSSD in 2020 where he has served since 2003. He has earned numerous honors from the Tennessee School Boards Association and the National Alliance of Black School Educators. Mr. Blair has advocated for children through his work with many non-profit organizations including Youth Leadership Franklin, My Friend’s House, and the Boys and Girls Club of Franklin/Williamson County. Mr. Blair continually takes opportunities to increase his knowledge of school-related issues. All are welcome to attend. 

The League of Women Voters is a non-partisan volunteer organization that promotes engaged, informed, and active participation in government. Since the creation of the national organization 100 years ago — before women were ever guaranteed the right to vote — its programs and activities have focused not just on voting rights for all citizens, but the broader picture of civic engagement that includes everything from participating in the census to walking into the polling place for the first time. Learning more about public policies and issues allows members of the public to make informed decisions about the matters that impact their communities.
