One of the biggest items the field staff and government relations departments have been working on the past few months has been filling the positions for our grass roots ambassadors network. If you've been to a meeting that I was at in the past few months, you should have heard me speak about the network. If you don't know about the GR network, let me explain.
We are trying to pair an A, SM or C member with their local congressperson. That means we need 435 individuals throughout the country, one for each member of congress, to establish a relationship with their elected official or their staff members so that our positions on legislation can be conveyed in a quick and effective manner. So far, we have about half of the positions filled in the southeast region by people who have signed up at local meetings, and now we are trying to fill spots in specific areas of the region that don't currently have representation.
If you are interested in filling one of these spots please let either myself or Kaelyn Seymour know and we'll be happy to get you started. There is some training involved and we need active and engaged members in all areas of the region to take part in this important project. Please help if you can!
