One big event eager to greet us is the 2022 Washington Seminar. Taking place the week of February 7<sup>th</sup>. You might be asking, “what work needs to get done before we sit down with our Representatives in Congress, (whether it be virtually or in person)?”, the answer is, we need to meet, organize, review and practice our presentations.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We will hold an Affiliate wide meeting this coming Monday, January 10<sup>th</sup> at 8:00 PM to briefly review the four Legislative priorities for 2022 and to discuss our strategies for meeting with our Representatives one month from now. During our last Washington Seminar, Florida showed a tremendous amount of excitement and involvement and I am sure we will do that again this year. I’ve been contacted by several new folks within our Affiliate who want to join us all in the vital work we will be conducting, it will be terrific having them join hands with us and showing them how passionate Floridians are about the legislative process.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>To keep from having this email overly complicated with meeting dates, Zoom links and attachments, we’re going to allow it to focus primarily on the meeting set for Monday, January 10<sup>th</sup> at 8:00 PM. Subsequent emails will have additional information for you to review. I will tell you that our National office will hold a legislative issue review meeting on Wednesday, January 12 and a mock meeting review session on January 24<sup>th</sup>, (I’ll send separate emails out to you regarding those meetings so you can add them to your calendar).<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’ll also be sending out emails with the Fact Sheets for our legislative initiatives. A big thanks to Sherri Brun for alerting all of us last week that the Fact Sheets are also accessible on the Federations website. Thanks so much Sherri, getting that link from you helped me easily find the information about our priorities in several formats.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please see below for the link to our meeting for Monday, January 10<sup>th</sup> at 8:00 PM.
