Good Morning, CARMA!

 

It is true, one call can make a difference.  George Bain, a long-time
advocate of local government records in Ohio (formerly a Regional
Network coordinator and archivist at OU, now retired but still working
hard for archives in Ohio), contacted Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown's
office to encourage him to sign on as a co-sponsor of the Senate version
of PAHR.  Senator Brown has contacted Senator Hatch's (sponsor) office
to indicate that he wanted to sign on as a co-sponsor.  This is great
news!

 

The report from the PAHR representatives at the SAA/NAGARA meeting in
August was very positive.  You are encouraged to keep the momentum
going.  Contact your Senators and Representatives.  Follow-up if you've
already contacted them.  Your call can make the difference!  

 

When you do make these contacts, feel free to share those with me.  I
can pass them on to the PAHR coordinators so that they can monitor
what's being done.

 

Right now 5 Ohio Representatives have signed on as co-sponsors.  You can
see the complete list at http://www.archivists.org/pahr/#spons.  The
next time this list is updated, Ohio will have Senator Brown added!
