 ADVOCACY |

LEAD volunteers work, in partnership with the Maine State Chamber, to ensure the success of legislation that enables businesses to operate more efficiently in the County. We are also diligent in opposing legislation that will weaken Maine's ability to compete in a global and regional marketplace.
Do you have an issue with particular laws, rules or politics that you can't solve on your own?
LEAD might be able to help. We want to hear from you! Our public policy work is made possible by our committee volunteers who track legislation on your behalf. |

Conference Calls
Each week, during the legislative session, LEAD hosts a conference call with members of the County delegation to discuss issues of concern. We are unaware of another region in the state that has weekly calls with their delegation. This is an excellent opportunity for LEAD members to speak with our delegation on a weekly basis without having to travel to Augusta. LEAD members may join the call Wednesdays at 12 Noon, at F. A. Peabody in Houlton, NMCC in Presque Isle, NMDC in Caribou, or at UMFK.
