Member meeting: Chuck Sheketoff/OCPP on how M66/67 was successfully presented

At our February, 18, 2010 member meeting, Chuck Sheketoff of the Oregon Center for Public Policy (OCPP) will talk and lead a discussion on framing -- How did we talk differently about Measures 66 & 67 that helped them pass? What do we do next and how do we talk about it? What do we want to see happen and how do talk about them?

Chuck and the OCPP were vital parts of the communications about the importance and impact of Measures 66 & 67 and of rebutting the claims against them.
