Work is underway on AWC’s 2025 legislative agenda

AWC’s Legislative Priorities Committee has begun meeting to vet issues for consideration in AWC’s 2025 legislative agenda. The Committee will conclude its work in early September and make a recommendation to the Board of Directors for adoption later that month.
