We will have multiple topics on our agenda, including an update on the status of our legislative priorities for 2023. 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. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>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 our 2023 meetings, which I’m thrilled to say have been 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 2023 and the first half of the 118<sup>th</sup> Congress, 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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please see the Zoom link for the meeting below.
