Lobby Committee Conference Call: February 4th, 2008
Intros
Report-back from steering committee call (and what we need to do):
Valentine templates will be here soon:
We need to:
1. Decide exactly what we want to do with them (should schools count
them? should everyone send them in at once? etc.)
2. E-mail all campus coordinators with template, letting them know what’s
going on
3. E-mail regional coordinators asking them to follow up with campus
coordinators.
Steering committee wants a lobby day in mid-April.
We need to:
1. Talk to Sweeny and EANY, find out when they think a good time is
2. Figure out what exactly we’re lobbying for
3. Continue compiling databases (Robert/Courtney)
4. Set up meetings once a date is established

Maybe a lobby day is too much?

1. Talk about going to reps offices in districts instead of all the way to
Albany.
