We're so close to the end of 2021. Let's do what we need to do to ensure we all get a solid winter break! Remember to manage your time so that you can take care of all of your obligations - including school and Y&G. Don't forget to make sure that you have saved the dates for our remaining conferences on January 29 and Feb 26-27. Make sure to ask for those days off of work (meeting days and times, too!)
- At the next meeting on December 9: We'll wrap up draft bills and fact sheets (right, Firms?) and preview the remainder of the program year.
- Due this week: Draft Bills & Legislative Fact Sheets - required from Firms, optional from Legislators
- OVERDUE: Legislator and Firm Platforms via the Google Classroom
NEW BUSINESS

Media Assignments and Policy Areas: All Media delegates have been assigned to a sub-program area (journalism or communications) and a policy topic.
