Good Afternoon, Our next Women's State Legislative Council General Session will be this Wednesday, February 5 at noon in the Spruce Room (next to the Copper Room). Director Chris Bray and the Education Committee have invited Rep. Romero, Rep. Hughes, and Sen. Mayne to speak to us regarding teacher development, preschool funding, and paraeducator funding respectively. Please remember we will continue the amending of the bylaws, which you can find on our website: www.wslcofutah.org. I would encourage you to bring a copy of the document with you so it is a bit easier to follow along. According to our current bylaws all amendments to the bylaws must be noticed, or announced, the meeting before they are to be discussed. All of the amendments from the Bylaws and Handbook Committee have been noticed. Any amendments or changes directly related to the amendments proposed from the committee are in order. If you would like to propose an amendment not related to the committee amendments, you are welcome to do so, but you will need to bring them up during any General Session and they can be discussed the next week. Kitty Kaplan did this at the end of our Jan. 29 meeting. I have attached her proposed amendment regarding dues to this email. I have also attached a motion form you can use to make the amending process easier and more accurate. Also, we have several Executive Board positions open: Education Committee Co-Chair (needs to be a Republican) Health and Human Services Co-Chair (needs to be a Democrat) Judiciary Committee Co-Chair (needs to be a Democrat) The co-chairs assist the directors in following legislation and inviting speakers for our General Sessions. Please contact Kari Malkovich if you would be interested in filling one of the positions.
