Many of the bills and motions that move through the State House are born in NEOEA’s own Legislative Committee. These are the people who deal with all of our ideas and concerns and give them shape and form. The Legislative Committee is also part of the communications link which keeps members informed about events in Columbus and Washington which need their support or action. The committee also assists locals in improving the effectiveness of their EPAC fund-raising campaigns, and they present plaques to the locals with the most success.
