Action Items from the most recent Steering Committee meeting:
Criteria for prioritizing possible legislative concepts
•How well does this choice align with the vision, mission and strategies?
•What is the breadth of impact of this choice? How many students would be affected?
•What is the depth of impact of this concept?
•Will this concept have short-term or long-term impact? In either case, are the benefits lasting?
•Is this concept a prerequisite of one of our high-priority strategies?
•Are there methods other than legislation that could achieve the same results with less resources? E.g. Collaborative effort with other groups, policy action by an existing board, private or federal funding, grass roots efforts.
•How well does this match the expertise, connections, and passions of members?
•How likely is it that we can get this concept turned into a bill and get it passed? Does it align with the work of education or workforce boards? Do we have ideas about who might endorse it?
