<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since the legislative session is beginning, it is important that you know the rules about Boards and Commissions and member engagement with legislators or providing comments on a bill. Please see the attached from the Governor’s Office
detailing what you can or can’t do as a Governor-appointed council member. <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At this time, the OGIC Legislative Coordinating Committee is the OGIC appointed group of people representing the Council (see attached). If you see a bill of interest for OGIC, please let the Committee know. Members of this committee include:
Ed Flick, Tom Rohlfing, Patti Sauers, and Ned Fairchild – with Kathryn Helms as the EIS Point of Contact. This committee meets regularly during the legislative session.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have any questions about the contents of the attached document, please reach out to Kathryn Helms or Shirlene Gonzalez, the EIS Legislative Coordinator. Both are cc’d on this email.
