Clay Pachyderms Welcome The Randles to Discuss Race and the GOP

The Clay County Pachyderms will meet on Thursday, March 11 from 6 to 8 PM, at Staley Farms Clubhouse. The topic will be “Race and the GOP: A New Framework.” The featured guest speakers, Bill and Bev Randles, will address the need for the Republican Party to reach minority voters and how that can be done.

The Randles will explain how historically the GOP has been the party that has championed civil rights for all races yet why the Democrat Party has been perceived to be the more inclusive party since the 1960s. Sharing from personal experiences as a racially diverse family, they will highlight what Republicans need to focus on to reach minority voters. Pachyderm board member Kevin Corlew heard the Randles speak on this topic at the GOP’s annual Lincoln Days in February. “The timely presentation was at the same time informative, challenging, and inspiring!” said Corlew.

Bev and Bill, both lawyers, own and operate Randles Consulting, a company that advises businesses in areas of public policy, communications, and risk assessment. Before starting this business, they were litigators with a KC-based, international law firm. They combine over 30 years of legal experience with communication expertise and a deep understanding of policy implications and practical consequences.

The Pachyderms meet at the Staley Farms Golf Club Clubhouse, 10310 North Olive Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri. The cost is $10 (members) and $12 (non-members), which includes hors d’oeuvres and a drink ticket. Parking is free.
