Supporting BluePrint Louisiana

Greetings everyone, Last week was a busy one for Blueprint Louisiana. The steering committee has formed legislative action teams charged with drafting legislation encompassing each of the five reform items we are all championing. These teams meet periodically and are composed of key members of the house and senate, subject matter experts on various issues, members of Blueprint Louisiana's steering committee, and a host of other individuals. Last week these teams met to begin drafting legislation and the results were extremely positive. In the weeks to come, i'll continue to keep everyone up to date on the activities of these important teams. Additionally, one of Blueprint Louisiana's College Captains has initiated a campus organization at LSU to support our efforts. Blueprint Louisiana at LSU will recruit members to meet periodically to discuss Blueprint Louisiana's recommendations and carry out promotional activities on campus. This is a great effort that we hope can be replicated on other college campuses across the state.As a reminder, we've created a new web page for the young leaders initiative that requires everyone to re-register as a Regional Ambassador. If at all possible, please take a minute at some point today to register if you have not already done so: www.blueprintlouisiana.org/youngleaders
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE:Growing our team of Regional Ambassadors and College Captains is extremely important to Blueprint Louisiana's mission. While we have a healthy and growing group of Regional Ambassadors in Lafayette, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and the Northshore; we are very weak in Monroe/Ruston, Alexandria, Lake Charles, Houma/Thibodaux, and especially Shreveport.I want to ask everyone to please invite other community-minded, young leaders to join our effort, especially in the weak areas mentioned above. Any help on this would be tremendously appreciated...Thanks to everyone for your continued support, please don't hesitate to call or email with anything. It's time to create the state we deserve!!!!Wes
