In order to promote and defend science and
secularism in the development of laws and policies,
the Center for Inquiry created the Office of Public
Policy in Washington D.C. The branch is headed by
Toni Van Pelt, CFI's governmental affairs
director, who urges Congressional members to base
laws and policies on scientific data and empirical
evidence as opposed to faith, as well as emphasizing
the separation of church and state.
Van Pelt will give a first-year report here on
the current bills CFI is following in Congress, the
inner workings of the Office, what the future holds,
and how CFI members can affect public policies and
laws.
She previously served as the first executive
director for the CFI-Florida branch. With the
development of the CFI Explorers Travel Club, she
has successfully married her past career in travel
and business with her commitment to skepticism and
secular humanism.
*This event will be repeated at 4:30 p.m. at the
Costa Mesa Community Center, 1845 Park Ave.
