LEGISLATIVE ACTION COMMITTEE

About

The Legislative Action Committee monitors relevant legislative activity through various channels, such as the Society for American Archaeology, National and Washington Trusts for Historic Preservation, Preservation Action, the Coalition for American Heritage, and the State Heritage Caucus. 

The Legislative Action Committee shares information with the Board and encourages the AWA membership to take action, and when merited, the Legislative Action Committee provides advice and guidance on how to do so. For example, the Committee may draft comments on pending legislation for the Board to sign. Or the Committee might prepare articles for the AWA newsletter to inform the membership about important regulatory issues. The Legislative Action Committee also responds to inquiries about legislation posed to the association by members or the general public.

The Chair of the Legislative Action Committee Chair may be the AWA's Government Affairs Network of State Representatives representative.

Mission

The unofficial mission of the Legislative Action Committee is to keep the membership up to date on relevant legislative activity.
