Donna Lawrence gave a synopsis of each committee’s presentation at the May 9 SIAN general meeting. Margaret Chiara spoke about her update and presented a question to the voting committee. Should we concentrate on the Community’s concerns about certain issues i.e., immigration or gun control in order to draw attention to the importance of voting OR should we just concentrate on the mechanics of voting registration. Ava will take this question to the Steering Committee.

The revised Mission Statement was discussed.  The committee liked the word “underrepresented” because it leaves space for other groups, in particular 18 year olds and out of state college students.  A motion made by Robin Girardi to approve the revised statement.  This was seconded by Shirley Hanson-Smith.
