DATE:    January 7, 2010

 

Just a reminder, the Governor's Council on Disability and the Statewide Independent Living Council (SILC) will once again be sponsoring the Legislative Education Project.  The agenda for the 2010 LEP will be the same as last year.  LEP will be held from February through April.  LEP will begin at 1:00 p.m. on Monday with training about the legislative process and how to communicate with policy makers.  A tour of the Capitol will also be included on Monday afternoon.  LEP participants will spend Tuesday and Wednesday meeting with legislators, attending committee hearings and working on their issues.  Those new to the LEP must be accompanied by an experienced mentor. Those attending LEP will be expected to commit to staying three days in Jefferson City, Monday through Wednesday, with the option of staying Thursday as well.

 

The LEP is open to any organization or individual wanting to learn more about the legislative process and how to communicate with policy makers.

 

Registration for 2010 LEP will be on line.  Please go to the Governor's Council web site and fill out the registration form.
