Public Policy Committee

Members of this committee assist in the development of issues that are important to our membership and then advocate on behalf of NAWBO-SV. We set up appointments for our members with the appropriate legislators, as well as send letters to legislators and some phone and email work. In addition to developing political influence, committee members have a great opportunity to get to know NAWBO members, what they do, and where their businesses are located. We have great support from both NAWBO-California and National.
