Please note: With the ever-changing legislative landscape and the need to adjust our strategy to remain nimble and effective, we are re-evaluating our legislative engagement strategy and the structure of our approach. As a result, we are not taking legislative committee sign-ups at this time. Once an approach is finalized, we will report back with next steps.
