Ever wonder what really happens in Alabama’s legislative meetings? 

Ever wonder what your representative actually does while they are representing you???   What happens in those sessions and committee meetings?

This is an election year and we ALL need to be thinking about these things and the issuse that are important to us!  And happily, the League furnishes Alabamians a way to do this from the comfort of their own home and at a time convenient to them!

Join Tara Bailey, Director of The Alabama Channel, for a live virtual training on January 8 at 6:30 PM that shows you how to turn public meetings into powerful tools for advocacy and civic engagement.

In this 45–60 minute session, you’ll learn:

• What legislative and state agency meetings The Alabama Channel covers

• How to search transcripts, track bills, and find key moments fast
