This week, we were engaged in a number of continued meetings with our legislators. On Monday, Dr. Lassiter spoke with a half a dozen members of our delegation. Our message was: Thank you for your support, and please continue to remember us throughout the appropriations process.
These meetings reinforce our belief that legislators are committed to higher education during this session. We will continue these meetings throughout the session to “keep the drumbeat going.”
On Tuesday, the Texas Association of Community Colleges held a meeting to mobilize community colleges. Forty-five of 50 districts were represented; then we converged on the capital to meet our legislators.
