What do folx think about a recruiting letter for locals News Review submission, and what should it say?
This agenda topic generated a great amount of support, with Kelly volunteering to help create a draft item to bring to the next meeting for feedback from the membership before we start sending it to locals to include in their News Reviews.
What do folx need or want to help facilitate a founding a Local Caucus?
A discussion took place, and was suggested that we talk more about this with conference attendees at an in-person conference.

We expected a member from Local 758 to join us, but no one did, and we will bring this topic up again in the future.
