Get the best value if you join Broward Days now.

Our Kick-Off reception gave us super analyses of this past election and its impact on south Florida, from pollster, Jim Kane, Delegation Chair, Sen. Eleanor Sobel, and political commentator, Justin Sayfie.

 

Our Appropriations Workshop, held at Broward College on 12/12, featured Ron Book, one of South Florida’s most experienced and effective lobbyists, who gave us some great insights.

He reiterated how important it is to keep up the presence in Tallahassee, and how we make a difference.

 

It’s time to join Broward Days. Just fill out the membership form, and pay by MasterCard, VISA, or check. The low annual membership fee will gain you access to all Broward Days events through June 30, 2013.

This year, our Workshops series (each normally $75) is expanding with the addition of The Legislative Committee Process, a fascinating discussion of  how an idea becomes a law.  This series represents at the least, a $375 value. You can get it all for the annual membership fee (annual fee increases as we get closer to Legislative Session). Add to that the value of our Fort Lauderdale and Tallahassee events — even if you can’t participate in Tallahassee activities, you’ve received great value. Submit the form now…hope to see you soon!
