The DoR procedure for endorsing propositions, measures, and legislation starts with vetting by the DoR Issues Committee, their vote on whether to endorse, and then a recommendation to the whole board. The goal is to promote legislation that aligns with the club’s priorities set each year. The board may then add its endorsement with a simple majority vote. In some matters, the board may ask for an endorsement by all the club members. Lobbying for endorsed issues takes various forms: action alerts to members to call or write decision makers, newspaper articles, office visits, joining statewide or local campaigns, etc.
We welcome more volunteers to join the Issues Committee.
