81st Texas Legislature House and Senate Interim Committee Charges Impacting Rural Texas

ARCIT is Keeping an Eye on Opportunites as the 81st Texas Legislature House and Senate Interim Charges have been released. 

Read how the interim charges will be looking at rural issues in the areas of community development, economic development and environmental concerns.

As always, the ARCIT advisory committees will be working with the House, Senate and agency staff throughout the interim on the charges, as well as additional concerns identified by the committees.

ARCIT will be putting out the Rural Legislative Alerts via email to keep you informed as to the issues/research/recommendations that are developing within the Texas House and Senate Committees during the interim.

If you are an ARCIT member and are interested in joining one of the Advisory Committees, please email our Executive Director, Donna Chatham,  at donna@arcit.org

ARCIT IS COMING 
TO RURAL TEXAS!

The dialogue and networking at our recent Opportunity Conference in Austin was so valuable that the ARCIT Board wants to bring Regional Meetings again to Rural Texas in 2010!  Dates and locations will be announced after the first of the year.  We need your input to help establish priorities for the next Legislative session, plus we want to help you maximize your stretched budgets by facilitating networking and highlighting valuable resources from agencies and programs.  Let us hear from you! 

Would you like to help sponsor a meeting in your area?  You can contact ARCIT Executive Director Donna Chatham at donna@arcit.org for more information.  Together we are making a difference.

A RURAL TEXAS THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!
