Kudos to all on a great lobbying workshop!

I came back energized after last weekend's fabulous lobbying workshop. The turnout was phenomenal- we easily had over 100 people show up, on a Saturday, to spend 5 hours learning how to navigate the Nevada political process. Thanks to all of you who attended and asked great questions. A special thanks to Assemblywoman Marilyn Kirkpatrick, Senator Joyce Woodhouse, Commissioner Lawrence Weekly and Councilwoman Lois Tarkanian and lobbyists Dylan Shaver, Sabra Smith-Newby, Piper Overstreet and Jason Frierson. And of course, a super thanks to Launce Rake of PLAN and Jon Ralston, who moderated the panels and fielded great questions from attendees. Perhaps the biggest thanks goes to the wonderful women of the southern NWL Steering Committee, who put all of this together: Constance Brooks, Tiffany Hesser, Barbara Straight, Emmily Bristol and Bobbie Gang. Thanks also to Lynda Savage and her son David for capturing the event on video. I know how busy people are, and most people probably wanted a little break after the election, so we were especially pleased to see how many people were interested enough to show up. We are looking forward to partnering with attendees on critical issues that need our attention.
