Advisory Committees
Thank you for your interest in my advisory committees. I have developed the following four groups to provide a way for you to organize and channel information to me. The committees allow me to meet regularly with you to discuss legislation and other state government initiatives which directly affect your interests. If you would like more information on any of these committees, please send me an email. Please check my calendar for upcoming dates and locations.

Next meeting: Wednesday, May 7, 2008 at 7:00 p.m.

available to businesses. Following the presentation and Q&A, staff will be
available to offer tours and showcase the new campus.
Agricultural Advisory Committee
My Agricultural/Farmers' Advisory Committee helps me better serve the agricultural community of the 15th District. This committee consists of area farmers, vegetable growers, livestock producers, certain dealers and others engaged in agricultural activities such as horticulturists and operators of green houses.
