WABO Winter Committee Meeting

We are once again planning a trip to the capitol to visit legislators, and for the fourth year we will be visiting them 'virtually' to request their support for WABO issues. We will be holding our 'virtual' committee meeting on January 25, 2024 to provide the membership a legislative overview. WABO lobbyist, Marian Dacca, is already setting up virtual appointments (by districts) with legislators for the week of January 29th - February 2nd with members who have already volunteered to meet with their representatives. 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.
