Registration is open for Use Your Voice: A Civil Conversation on Tax Policy, April 6–7 at Montana State University.

In a time when conversations around policy often feel amplified and divided, this forum is intentionally designed as a respectful, balanced environment for meaningful exchange. Over two days, respected scholars, policymakers, and civic leaders will examine the tradeoffs and choices shaping Montana’s tax system.

On Monday evening, keynote speaker Bob Story, former Montana State Senator and Executive Director of Montana Taxpayers Association, will open the conversation. Tuesday features panel discussions and moderated dialogue, including a historic discussion between former Governor Marc Racicot and former Representative Dorothy Bradley revisiting their historic statewide sales tax debate during the closely contested 1992 gubernatorial race.

If you care about how Montana funds its future, your perspective belongs in the room.
