LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM

State Program

 

One of the great contributions the Grange has made to the American Way of Life is its part in promoting the interest of Agriculture within the legislative halls – defending the welfare of rural people and supporting the cause of good government.

We must rededicate ourselves to the development and implementation of Grange Legislative policies and programs.  The responsibility belongs to each and every member of the Grange.  The responsibility of coordinating the legislative activities of a Grange rests in the hands of the Legislative Chairman.

The goals of the legislative activities of a Grange are twofold.  First, of course, is to influence government decisions to reflect Grange policy; second, and of equal importance, is to give members an opportunity to see improvement in government.

 

 

Community Needs Meeting

In conjunction with the State Grange Legislative Department, Granges are encouraged to hold a Community Needs Meeting.  The Subordinate Legislative Chairman will be in charge.

 

The Subordinate Grange should invite town officials, other organizations, and non-members to come to an open meeting and discuss issues and needs of the community.  Coordinate your community concerns and needs into unified efforts to meet these needs.
