RICHMOND, IN – Richmond is putting in a bid to host a 2008 Presidential Debate or Vice-Presidential Debate, and Summersault is doing its part to help. Summersault co-founder and Principal Chris Hardie was asked to serve on the Debate Bid Steering Committee, consulting on issues of infrastructure and facilities needed to host the events. Summersault is also working closely with the Economic Development Corporation of Wayne County to evaluate ways to use the technologies of the Internet to win the debate bid and showcase our community.

“It’s not often that you hear people talk about Presidential politics and Wayne County in the same sentence,” said Hardie. “We’re excited to be involved in this ambitious and entrepreneurial opportunity, and what it means for our community.”

On March 6, 2007 the Economic Development Corporation of Wayne County in conjunction with the Wayne County Convention and Tourism Bureau announced they submitted an application for the City of Richmond to host a presidential or vice presidential debate in 2008. With the support of Mayor Sally Hutton, Richmond Community Schools, Earlham College, Economic Growth Group, Wayne County Community Foundation, and the Wayne County Commissioners, Richmond will put its best foot forward in the efforts to host a debate.
