Introduce Special Guest - Mr. Greg Fahey, Associate Vice President, Government Relations - Eddie Gomez

Mr. Fahey reviews his hand-out Finance Advisory Committee Revenue & Budget Update, October 22, 2009, to explain fiscal nightmare the UA is currently facing.  He strongly encourages everyone who believes in higher education, to write a short email or letter to current legislators. Something simple to let them know that, as a voter, an issue is important to you and your support will be strongly influenced by actions taken on your behalf. He also indicated, if you like what a legislator or politician is doing, or attempting to do, you volunteer just a little time with efforts to endorse. This could mean an afternoon passing out flyers, or an evening on the phones.  The more you get involved, the more insight you can gain.

Mr. Fahey does Office of State Government updates and will make sure our representatives are added to his list serve. They will then pass along the information to our membership through our listserv.
