MONTHLY VIRTUAL MEETING OF THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE
Where the rubber meets the road: the intersection of CT libraries and legislation. Are you a current CLA member and want to learn more? Please join us! Got a library buddy itching to take action? Bring them too!
This committee is responsible for the Association's legislative program. It initiates legislation formulated by the Association. It evaluates all proposed legislation, including the State Library budget, recommends legislative positions to the Executive Board, and represents and arranges for representation at legislative hearings. It works with any legislative advocate employed by the Association and with other persons as appropriate to inform legislators of the Association's legislative positions and of the importance of libraries in meeting the information needs of the citizenry.
For your review: Agenda for upcoming meeting & Minutes from previous meeting will be sent out prior to the meeting.
Zoom join info will be provided upon registration. It will also be sent out to Committee members prior to the meeting.
For questions or more information, please contact Co-Chairs:
