Legislative Issues

s MAP has not had a voice in the legislature

s MAP needs a board members, spokesperson who lives near Augusta

s Concern about a retroactive clause in a land use bill

s Access management may be changed, but Kathy Fuller is OK with these changes.

s Most legislative attention is shifting to next year

Critique:

s Three leaders needed

1. Research

2. Organizing

3. Speaking

s Chair person -someone who can tell who to speak about what and when.

s Spokesperson for legislature -someone who lives near to the capital who is willing to speak

s Research - someone who will ferret out the issues and bring them to the committee (e.g. Dan Fleishman)

MMA

s Ask members at the annual meeting what they would suggest for the MMA meeting.

Annual Meeting

s Newsletter is now quite late in going out.

s Six Posters

s Awards - no decisions have been made yet. The committee is not organized, but the deadline is nigh.
