Great work at this past Sunday's conference, everyone. It's hard hanging in there in Zoomland, but we're glad you did (less fun than Disneyland, but stillawesome when it's a Y&G zoom). Now, we get to enjoy our longest break between conferences. But before you downshift fully to a slower pace, there are a couple of important to-do items for this week.
Program Bulletin: You should have received the post-conference program bulletin, but just in case, here you go. This bulletin will seem short because you need to click through and read that one. It has all the post-con program area info you need to read including how to reach out to Legislators/Firms about bill introductions.
Bill Introduction Deadline - Thursday: Legislators have until Thursday, Jan 14 to introduce their bill(s). That means Advocacy Firms have until Thursday to lock down a bill author to introduce their proposal so it has a shot at making it to the Governor! Here's the process. Legislators and Advocates should read this info ASAP.
Upcoming Webinars: We have some bonus content for you!
- January 19 Bill Drafting Webinar: We reviewed this information before Winter Break, but if you need a refresher on writing your actual bill language if your bill is introduced, join us on Tuesday, January 19 at 6pm for bill drafting info. See email for the link.
- January 26 Webinar: Speak Your Truth with 916 Ink: Join us on January 26 at "SPEAK YOUR TRUTH," a webinar presented by 916 Ink. Embrace creativity and your unique voice when writing or speaking about the issues most important to YOU. Learn skills to help you not just with upcoming campaign, bill presentations, or lobbying efforts, but also with college applications, job interviews, cover letters, and more! Register today!
Meeting Link: We'll have our regular meeting this Wednesday. Officers at 6:15, Everyone else at 6:30p. This week and next we'll be learning about advocacy tools you can use in Y&G and in real life. See email for the link.
REMINDERS
Join Slack: All delegates have now been added to slack. Accept the invitation and come say hi to your fellow delegates. This is your virtual town-square where you can connect about bill introductions and support, chat about policy, ask questions about program area assignments, and more. But it's only useful if you're there!
Get Social: Are you on Instagram? Follow our delegation - @sacyandg - and the NorCal Y&G account - @norcalyg for all the latest on conferences and program stuff. (Follow our sister delegations, too: @eldoyandg and @goldcountrymlc) No need to join Instagram if you're not already on Instagram, of course.
