The president of the Council regularly monitors action by the General Assembly to keep up with issues being considered which may be of interest or concern to members. The General Assembly convenes March 2009. A legislative committee representing members directs the initiatives staff takes in the proposing of needed legislation as well as reaction of the Council to the issues that are introduced each session. Periodic reports are issued during the session reflecting progress of legislation and action that may be needed by members to support or defeat measures which may be under consideration. Regular contacts are developed in Washington to network with the state's Congressional delegation and share members' concerns for issues on a national level. National impact is realized by members through membership of the Council in the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives and the National Cooperative Business Association. |
