Legislative Update - March 21, 2003

The Office of Government Relations is now established and is off to a fast start for the 2003 Regular Session of the Alabama Legislature. The role of this office is to promote the mission and interest of the Troy University System at the Alabama State House in Montgomery.

We have a web presence that can be viewed at www.troy.edu/governmentrelations/. Please visit this site for links to your elected officials and to various government offices and agencies. There is a link on how to best correspond with your elected officials and how you can participate in the political process.

We want you to be a part of our Legislative Alert Campaign. We currently have over 7,000 e-mail addresses to inform our constituents on important proceedings with the legislature. This network can and will be a powerful tool in informing the legislature on issues of importance to our campuses. There is a link on the Office of Government Relations web site to give us your contact information so we can add you to this network. The stronger the network, the more powerful our voice.

If you would like to become more involved in our activities, please feel free to contact our offices by calling 334/241-8623. The Office of Government Relations is ready to serve you and lead our efforts in Montgomery. Together we can build a greater TROY.

GO TROJANS!
