Well said Joy! These issues among other issues will be covered through the
advocacy and legislative work the Advocacy and Public Policy Committee is
doing currently. We would love to have you, Denise, participate in the
committee if you are interested. If you are interested just send me an
email at jjkrissovich at gmail.com and will get you added to the invite list.
This invitation is extended to all.
