March Policy Updates
Advocacy in Action
Did you know that National APSE provides support to members who are engaged in state-level policy and advocacy work? Here's a great recent example.
Recently, APSE National Board Member and Northeast Delegate, Kie O'Donnell, was invited to submit testimony related to Rhode Island House Bill No. 5723, AN ACT RELATING TO EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYMENT OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.
While preparing his remarks, Kie reached out to APSE's Public Policy Committee for input and support. This is just one of the many ways that you can leverage your membership dollars. Let us know how we can support YOU!
So, what is next for 14(c)? And what else is going on in Federal policy?
