Following a welcome and announcements, President Debbie Barber will introduce our speaker: educator and Kent City Councilman Jack Amrhein. His talk, “Controversial Presidential Elections: Been Happening for Years,” will illustrate that conflict is not new when it comes to electing presidents. 

Amrhein is a graduate of Kent State University with a degree in social studies and a minor in secondary education. He received his master’s degree in instruction in 2003 from Marygrove College. Amrhein worked as a social studies teacher in the Kent City Schools for 32 years. He has served on Kent City Council and the Kent Board of Health since 2008. Amrhein has served on the board of trustees of the Kent Historical Society for the past 28 years, the last nine as president of the board.
