Advocacy Issues
Neighborhood groups, individuals and organizations concerned with neighborhoods issues are urged to write short proposals of neighborhoods issues they want brought to the LCON membership. Please send email copies of these proposals to the LCON listserve at louisville_neighborhoods@yahoogroups.com. If you are not registered for the listserve, please go through the sign up process and then post your email proposal. Please put "Advocacy Issue: (and the title of your issue)" in the header of the email and the top of the proposal. Please also bring a written copy of your proposal to the Advocacy Committee meeting if you attend, with several copies so members can read it there.
You can see an example of an issue proposal you can use as a model by clicking here.
If you wish to learn more about the Advocacy Committee process or wish to propose presenting issues in other ways, please contact John Baker at Johnbaker@bellsouth.net.
If you have difficulties posting your email proposal to the louisville_neighborhoods@yahoogroups.com listserve, please send a copy instead as well to David Silverman at communicas@communicas.com along with a description of the problem you are having. We will post it for you if need be and try to address any posting problems you have.
