Good Snowy Afternoon Fellow WSLC Members, We have an outstanding program coming up for our next WSLC meeting is this Wednesday, March 4 at noon in the Copper Room in the Senate Office Building. This will be a joint meeting where both the Business and Labor Legislative Study Committee and the Health and Human Services Legislative Study Committee have arranged topics and speakers. We will be discussing multiple options for expanded health care options - essentially the Medicaid expansion. We will also discuss protections for contact lens consumers - a surprisingly interesting topic. You will find the full language of the bills at the following web address: http://le.utah.gov/asp/billtrack/track.asp . All of the bills we will be discussing have been numbered - which you will find on the agenda. The Nominating Committee submitted candidates for elected positions for the upcoming biennium during last Wednesday's meeting. We thank the Nominating Committee for their hard work and for the candidates below for being willing to run and volunteer their time to the WSLC. We will have a chance to hear from them for a minute before the elections on March 11. As a reminder the following candidates have been nominated: President-Elect (R) Suzanne Mulet First Vice-President (D) Donna Murphy Second Vice-President (Selected by the Weber County Affiliate) Carol Harley Recording Secretary (R) Lorraine Turner Katie Witt Corresponding Secretary (D) GayLynn Bennion Hilarie Orman Treasurer (R) Renee Lowrey Jo Sjoblom Historian (D) Josie Valdez Director - Business & Labor (D) Brandy Farmer Kimber Gabryszak Director - Education (R) Amelia Powers Taylor Rosecrans The incoming President is our current President-Elect - Shauna Scott-Bellaccomo. In addition to the agenda and minutes, you will also find an invitation to a benefit concert for the Elizabeth Smart Foundation - Operation Underground Railroad. The organizations work to stop human trafficking around the world. The concert is on March 14, 2015. In the next email (because there was so much already in this one), you will receive the invitation to the WSLC Instillation of Officers Luncheon on March 25 at the Alta Club. Please print the invitation and send in your RSVP to Joyce Short by March 18. As always, please follow the WSLC on Twitter you can find us @UTWSLC.
