The Legislative Committee develops the legislative agenda on an annual basis. The agenda is ultimately
approved by the general membership in October. In an effort to seek student input on issues for the agenda, the
committee is working to develop a reliable mechanism for eliciting input on a regular basis. The committee meets
bi-weekly in the Student Activity Center. Contact Evan Wallach for more information.
