There was discussion on sending a questionnaire out
to all the members but it was decided that would re-
quire a lot of follow-up work by the board which then
led to the suggestion that there needs to be more in-
volvement by the board members in the legislative
process. Everyone needs more education on the leg-
islative process and the idea was put out there about
sending a letter to all the IAR members about the
process and ask for their feedback.
Jim asked the board to come to agreement on a legis-
lative bill to draft then he would begin to work on that
but he said it would be wise to narrow it to a couple of
ideas. Hill Day is January 17, 2013. That may be the
time to meet the legislators and start some dialog with
them and the other groups that are in agreement with
the IAR. We have some people on our side who are
in good positions in the legislature right now and
working with them would be a good place to start.
Sue asked if the board would want to have follow-up
call before Hill Day. Due to the lack of participation at
the end of this call, no decision was made as to the
next meeting/call.
The call ended at 11:36 a.m.
