Empowering
Students
to Succeed

Junior, Youth Entrepreneurs Alumnus, Kansas

“When some of my friends suggested I enroll in YE, everything changed. Something sparked inside me that I didn’t know was there. The hardest thing about high school is learning how and when to become an adult, and YE helped me navigate that. They provided mentorship and helped me apply for scholarships, and now I’m the first person in my family to attend college.”

Working
Families

Terry TenPas, Union Worker, Wisconsin

“As a union worker, I’ve paid a part of my paycheck to union dues for more than two decades. With right to work in place, I think people will have more money to spend.”

Expanding
Opportunity
for All

Antong Lucky, Urban Specialists, Texas

“I grew up in the projects. I didn’t have many good role models. Me and a couple of my cousins decided we were going to be Bloods. Eventually, I was sentenced to prison. In prison, this guy pulled me aside and said, ‘Look, brother, you’re a leader. If you can lead these men to do wrong, you have the power to lead them to do right.’ I attribute my transformation to him. It was the touch from an individual who’d seen something in me. That is the basis of the Urban Specialists program. Our mission is to give every kid a real opportunity. No one knows how to keep a kid out of a gang better than a person who ran a gang themselves. With the support of this Network, we hope to take Urban Specialists to new cities across the country.”

Building
a Movement
of Millions

Jamiroquan Kittler, Field Director, Wisconsin

“In our city, it’s hard to get opportunities like this to be able to work for organizations like Americans for Prosperity. Sometimes these opportunities are out of reach. I can share with others the same knowledge that I learned here at Americans for Prosperity so that others can open their eyes and not be held down by what society told them is right or wrong. They can know what’s right and what’s wrong and stand on their own two feet and maybe become a part of this as well.”

Patient-Centered
Healthcare

Sheila Salter, Self Employed, North Carolina

“In 2014, my health insurance plan was cancelled because of Obamacare. This Network helped me tell my story. I’m grateful there’s a group willing to fight for the millions of Americans who need relief and affordable, patient-centered health care reform.”

Partnering
for Effective
Policy Change

Governor Doug Ducey, Arizona

“The Seminar Network has been incredibly effective at proposing policy changes that streamline government, improve education, support free enterprise, and unleash innovation, while expanding social and economic opportunities for our most vulnerable. We've been able to apply the best ideas, and Arizona is a better state because of it.”

Who We Are

The Seminar Network unites the country’s top business and philanthropic leaders behind a shared commitment to a society of mutual benefit, a free and open society. We believe moving towards such a society will make the world a more peaceful and prosperous place and help people, especially the least fortunate, improve their lives.

These are just a few of our members who make it possible.

“This group is willing to do whatever it takes to preserve a free society and make life better for every single American.”

Michael Shaughnessy

Former President ColorMatrix Corporation

“I had a wonderful experience building my business…I worry about the people out there today trying to do the same thing. Once people see what the Seminar Network does and the quality of people who attend the Seminar, it’s a slam dunk…There are people who watch things happen. We want to make things happen.”

Bill O’Neill

Owner Dungannon, LLC

“When I found out about the Seminar, I realized this was what I’d been looking for. This was the missing piece. It’s not about political parties, or more Republicans than Democrats—it’s more about how the nation should be governed…Whatever role I can play in trying to help it work is what I want to do.”
