Volunteers Needed for Policy Review and Advancement
We're organizing several policy review and advancement groups now, and we're looking for members to lead and carry out their work.
These groups are organized by member conveners (rather than staff), and are based on existing Citizens League policy positions. They will develop policy statements and bring them to the Policy Advisory Committee, and later to the Board.
The time commitment varies depending on the topic and members' availability. The initial commitment is approximately 2-3 months, and members who would like to stay involved are welcome to do so as advancement efforts continue.
We plan on convening these groups within the next week or two, so sign up now if you're interested sign up now by emailing Annie Levenson-Falk (alevensonfalk[at]citizensleague.org).
- Transportation: Examine and recommend positions regarding value capture; work toward regional transportation solutions based on 2005 report Driving Blind.
- Regional Governance: Help implement the Common Ground process that resulted from the 2008 Regional Policy Conference. Review Citizens League policy and evaluate federal initiatives related to regional governance.
- Education Reforms: Take the work of last year's Policy Review Group, evaluate current reform efforts and position the Citizens League based on past and recent positions. This will include evaluation of federal and state initiatives.
- Energy: Review 2001 Citizens League report on energy. Update and position the Citizens League in today's energy developments.
Some of these groups were available for sign-up last fall. If you signed up at that time, you are still on the list.
If you're interested in participating in any group, please let us know.
