The Honor Roll Call of States
by Bridgid Burke
From the Editor: Bridgid is one of our unsung heroes. She watches the books, so we can tend to the advocacy. She explains what makes good financial sense, and when that makes more work for us, she is the purveyor of bad and cumbersome news. The flipside is that she keeps us from trouble, and for this we can never express too much gratitude.
Instead of reading the roll call of states as we have in the past, we decided this year to publish it here. This saves time on the floor and more broadly recognizes our chapters and divisions for their generosity, and our understanding that we need funding at all levels to do our work. Here is our roll call:
