Dear State Chairs,
I’m looking forward to seeing you next week. Thanks to your recruitment efforts, we are going to
welcome nearly 1,400 attendees and a higher overall percentage of legislators to the 46th ALEC
Annual Meeting. We also have many first-ever events next week. From the Teneo Causes showcase
with startup founders and CEO to the parole reentry simulation and tour of the Community First
Village, meeting attendees will have an incredible opportunity to meet, learn and have a little fun.
Beginning tomorrow, meeting attendees will receive daily look-ahead emails profiling exciting new
opportunities at the Annual Meeting. Please check your inboxes for emails from Lisa B Nelson, Bill
Meierling and/or Courtney Cook. When you receive them, consider forwarding them to your
delegations (regardless of whether or not they plan to attend).
The State Chair Meeting will take place on Wednesday morning in Room 202 of the JW Marriott
Austin. The agenda is included below.
We have some exciting developments to discuss regarding the future of member engagement at
ALEC. We have great things in store.
Best,
Bill
