Welcome to the 2023 Season of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute's Great Communicator Debate Series!

Our 2023 Regional Topic is

Resolved: All United States citizens should serve one year of mandatory national service between the ages of 18 and 26.

We hope you will join us at the in-person MidWest Regional competition and/or the Nationwide Regional competition. Preliminary rounds on Friday, May 5, will be at Rockhurst High School. Elimination rounds on Saturday, May 6, will be at the Harry S Truman Presidential Library.

We are excited to announce that each in-person Regional Competition will include a special event at no additional cost to you.

We want to make each of our qualifying tournaments extra-special for students and for adults.

At the MidWest Regional on Saturday, all students and adults have complimentary admission to the

President Harry S Truman Presidential Library, in partnership with the

Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Institute and Rockhurst High School!

Please see needed information and forms in the boxes to the right on your screen.

On behalf of your Regional Host Phillip Helt and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute,

Christine Adams, GCDS Program Coordinator
