WABO Winter Committee Meeting

We are once again planning a trip to the capitol to visit legislators, and for the fifth year we will be visiting them 'virtually' to request their support for WABO issues. We will be holding our 'virtual' committee meeting on February 06, 2025 to provide the membership a legislative overview. WABO lobbyist, Marian Dacca, will be setting up virtual appointments (by districts) with legislators for the week of February 10th - February 14th with members who will volunteer to meet with their representatives. If you are interested in attending the virtual legislator meetings, please make sure to answer 'yes' on the registration form when prompted and the appropriate questions will populate and we will gather the necessary information needed for Marian to schedule your meeting with your representative(s). Tim Woodard and Marian Dacca will provide meeting tips, 'talking points' to the volunteers, and be available to answer any questions from the entire membership.

If you are interested in learning more about WABO's government relations committee, please consider attending this completely virtual meeting to get involved.
