AALL's 2006 Legislative Advocacy Leadership Training

From: Mary Alice Baish (baish@law.georgetown.edu)
Date: Mon Apr 24 2006 - 14:01:42 PDT

Please join the Government Relations Committee, the Washington Office, and a room full of law librarians for the very exciting Legislative Advocacy Leadership Training in St. Louis on Saturday, July 8th.

All politics is local, and this is a great opportunity to learn more about AALL's legislative agenda and how you can help us promote our positions on crucial policy and legislative matters. It's also a great opportunity to network with other active law librarians, learn some effective advocacy techniques and tips, and make a real impact on the future of our profession.

This year's half day workshop will focus especially on three areas of concern to our community: public law library funding issues, changes to the Federal Depository Library Program, and “Orphan Works” legislation. While there is no cost for this important training session, we ask that you please register by June 15th by contacting Mary Alice Baish at baish@law.georgetown.edu.  A copy of the agenda follows. We look forward to seeing you there!

Thanks!

GRC Chair
