Strategized and Mobilized
| On Saturday, May 3rd the Convention of States Action Team held our annual State Strategy Session in Pasadena, Maryland. In attendance were Maryland state leaders and volunteer activists from across the state: Lusby, Frederick, Hampstead, Bel Aire, Glen Burnie, Pocomoke, Mt. Airy, and Sharpsburg. It was an extremely engaging & productive day focused on a review of the past year and goal setting for the next year. Volunteers Mike Tedeschi and Joy Fernon were awarded Patriot Pins for their hard work and dedication to COS over the past year. We came away with a Wildly Important Goal to design & launch our COS Action Maryland web landing page that supports our strategy to connect with people on issues they care about & teach them how to make a difference by December 2025. Our Maryland team's priority is to GROW OUR GRASSROOTS ACTIVIST ARMY INTO LEADERS. We need leaders to take our team to the next level and gain more traction in Annapolis and at the local level. We are reminded that every interaction is an opportunity to express our appreciation to petition signers and challenge ourselves to activate our volunteers. Attendees visited the video booth to answer the questions: Why do you support COS and How does COS Action Maryland help you make a difference? You can make a video and send it to us! Watch the video:  Our 2024-2025 accomplishments include: * 2 Patriot Pins awarded to deserving volunteers * 4K + emails sent to state legislators from COS supporters in support of our 34 Ready bill * Filed 34 ready bill with senator ready & delegate fisher as sponsors * Connect with people on issues they care about & teach them how to make a difference strategy unveiled in Summer '24 * Created 3 working groups to support our 2024 strategy * 3 leaders attended the September ‘24 simulated convention * Regional Captain Jim McQueen became a Biblical Citizenship facilitator The team also committed to hosting another Tour of the Capitol in Annapolis in November to kick-off the 2026 Legislative Session with the goal to host a special guest from the COS National team. Stay tuned for more on this in the coming months. If you're interested in helping grow the team or join in our Wildly Important Goal project to re-design our state's web page, contact Maria Bedard or Seth Lipko. …and we were visited by Senator Ira Pressrights on Saturday, too! **WATCH THE VIDEO**  |
