Tonight is our initial organizational Action meeting for the upcoming 2025 session.

Three people have filled out the When2Meet survey so far. It looks like the most agreement is on Monday nights at 5:30 or 6, but people also like Thursday afternoons (3:30 or later) and Fridays between 12:30 and 3. Of course, people at tonight's meeting mostly haven't weighed in, so we'll see what times people prefer.

We'll be giving an intro to what the Action committee does, for our new members. There's a document called "What is the LWVNM Action Committee?" and a link to the final tracking sheet from the 2024 session here:
https://lwvnm.org/Action/orientation/
(when you click on the tracking sheet, there's a link to Dick's original Word document if you prefer that).

See you tonight!

Here's tonight's agenda:
