Governor's Committee on Disability Issues and Employment Meeting Notes
The Legislative Workgroup meeting included discussions about creating a primer on word choice for effective legislator visits, developing a database of GCDE members' expertise in government engagement, and creating a Civics 101 guide. Volunteers were assigned to compile information from sources like Disability Rights Washington and the League of Women Voters. The meeting also covered developing a training schedule for effective communication and engagement at the local level. The Legislative Session starting in January was noted, and the tracking of disability-related legislation was mentioned. The Right to Repair bill was discussed, with a suggestion to include wheelchairs. Finally, a motion was made and passed to change the name from the Legislative Workgroup to the Legislative Subcommittee.
