Louis Goodwin, Chair, presiding.
Motion by T. Rice / Second by K. Coate/Passed: Minutes from November 24, 2020.
Members discussed advocacy in 2021. Advocacy might take place in the spring as the new administration will need transition time to populate staff and agencies. Both very small, targeted groups (3-4 members plus an IA staff member) and virtual meetings were suggested by Congressman Aguilar. We should be aware of, and nimble in using, numerous virtual platforms that many Agencies now require.
Meeting adjourned at 8:34 a.m. when committee members broke into their respective ZOOM break-out rooms for committee meetings.
