Hello Federation Family, Friends and Supporters!



Our next Legislative Committee gathering will take place   tomorrow,
Thursday, February 22nd at 8:00 PM, (Eastern). We will have multiple topics
on our agenda, including an update on the status of our legislative
priorities for 2024 and a complete recap of our exciting Washington Seminar.
Your Florida delegation did an incredible job in our nations capitol and you
have every right to be trully proud of them. You'll gedt to hear from many
of our Seminarians tomorrow evening and hopefully will get a sense of the
excitement that comes along with the long, cold days in Washington. We've
seen some successes already in connection to our trip and I'll be glad to
share those with you.



A lot of positive activity has been happening lately with several of our
bills and with this activity, we can now move forward with planning our next
set of meetings with our US House Reps and with our Senators. These meetings
will take place mostly via Zoom. The great thing about the virtual meetings
we conduct is that everyone will have the opportunity to be involved in the
legislative process. It is your involvement that truly matters and it's what
allows us to effect real change in our community.



Thursday night will also give us an opportunity to learn from one another on
some items of major importance. I know that your time is valuable so I want
to make sure that you come away from the meeting having had the chance to
learn more about and gain some excitement for, the legislative process.
During last years Legislative Committee meetings, which I'm thrilled to say
were well attended, I've continued to receive positive feedback on the idea
that we use our calls to gain knowledge and to learn from one another. We
will be preparing to move ourselves forward with our in State campaign of
action and advocacy soon and will need all of the support and involvement of
members and supporters that we can muster. As we move through the months of
2024, we will need full participation from every Chapter and Division,
whether you are in the North, South, East or West of Florida. One important
thing I'd like to point out is that Florida needs involvement from members
in each of its 28 Congressional Districts. We don't have that now, but it is
something that is desperately needed. Having you with us this Thursday
evening is key.



Please see the Zoom link for the meeting below. Looking forward to having
you with us on Thursday.



Respectfully,
