Judy, my apologies. I thought you had sent this to the entire NCL Board, but now I see that you asked for a response from me. :( The dates for the prep calls are Jan 21 (oops), Jan 25, Jan 28, and Feb 1. I'm completely in favor of coordinating more closely with NSC on info about adult literacy and digital skills, but I'm not sure that this is the best way to move forward with that. I think we need to discuss what would work best with Amanda and perhaps others at NSC. LMK if you want me to add this to the agenda for the February board meeting or set up a Zoom call with Amanda. There's also the matter of NSC's lapsed membership in NCL.

We have been speaking with offices on Capitol Hill after rioters took over the Capitol and attempted to disrupt our democratic process last week. From what we’re hearing, I’ll say that it has made DC more determined than ever to make the next few years count in service to our communities. This moment is precious in regard to the impact that your organization can make on the agenda of your elected officials. New and returning members need to hear from us on the importance of skills for an inclusive economic recovery today.

I think a call with Amanda (about shared advocacy and NSC's lapsed payment) would be a good place to start. Thanks!
