NCW Braver Angels to host civic forum on executive orders

CHELAN — The North Central Washington chapter of Braver Angels is launching a new initiative called the "Bridging the Divide Series," beginning with a civic forum focused on presidential executive orders later this month.

The inaugural event, titled "The Stroke of a Pen - Understanding Executive Orders," will take place on May 29 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Chelan Fire Station, located at 232 E Wapato Ave in Chelan.

According to organizers, the forum will examine various perspectives on "the historical and current use of Presidential executive orders to govern." The event is structured to encourage broad participation, and organizers emphasize that "in-depth knowledge of Presidential executive orders is not required" for attendees.
