We have a program director and a sponsoring senator!

Dear Committee Members:

As you may recall the Department of Licensing had a meeting last Thursday with Senator Kastima to discuss the proposed language changes of your law. I just wanted to take a minute and let you know that the meeting went very well. Senator Kastima seemed to be pleased and in agreement with all of the new language and has agreed to sponsor the bill for the 2010 legislative session that begins in January. It was a opportunity for me to brag about what a great group you are to work with and to let him know that you are willing to come to the legislature and speak in favor of the bill. We were very encouraged by the Senators support and look forward to working with him through this process.

Also, just wanted to let you know that we have filled Manager position for your program. Ben Rogers, who I think some of you may have met at a previous meeting has accepted the position and will begin on December 1st. Ben is looking forward to working with you all.

As promised we are working on meeting dates and trying to keep your availability in mind through this process. Once they have all been determined we will notify you so you can get your calendars set up. You should hear on that within the next couple of weeks. I will also keep you posted if anything new develops.

Have a great Holiday season everyone!

Sincerely,

Trudie Touchette
