Board meeting is November 29
The MPA/MPS Board of Directors will hold its final meeting of 2007 November 29 at the Edison-Walthall Hotel in Downtown Jackson. A holiday luncheon with the MPA/MPS staff will precede the meeting.
Agenda includes a recommendation from a board subcommittee on hiring new legislative representation for the upcoming 2008 Session that gets underway in January. Subcommittee members interviewed three prospective firms recently during meetings at the MPA offices. The change comes as the Governmental Affairs Committee has underscored a commitment to passage of a law that will strengthen incident report and sunshine laws in Mississippi. MPA’s legislative agenda also includes mounting a defense against potential threats to public notices in member papers and the possibility of a service tax bill that could impact members.
The first meeting of the board in 2008 will be during the annual Mid-Winter Conference at the Hilton Hotel in January.
