  Our Society needs YOU to help us advocate and impact legislators in many different ways, or our messages simply will not get out. 

  
  

  Sue Rowland (our Virginia lobbyist), Pam Metz Kasemeyer (our Maryland lobbyist), Margot Aronson (DC Chair), Judy Ratliff (VA chair), and Judy Gallant, (MD chair and program director), discuss potential new laws and how our voice can make a difference. This is your opportunity to speak about topics you think GWSCSW should be addressing with lawmakers and to find out about issues likely to come up in the next legislative sessions. You will leave the program informed about current issues in each jurisdiction, the impact our local elections have and how you can participate to support our Society, your profession and your principles. Come learn-and help educate us about what’s on your mind!
