Legislative Committee
The Legislative Committee monitors legislation and/or regulations at the state and federal level that impact the ability for successful rural development efforts in Kansas. The committee schedules area legislators to speak to wKREDA members during quarterly updates. The committee schedules the annual Legislative Conference, held in Topeka early in the year. Each year the legislative position paper is drafted by members of the committee, based on input from the membership. When needed, the committee may issue a call to action to the members to contact legislators about specific issues.
wKREDA does not usually take a stand on political issues since the membership represents diverse attitudes. wKREDA does encourage individual members to voice their concerns in a positive manner.
