Whatever the decision as to goals, there should be a bucket for Chapters' to use for issues that are specific to their jurisdictions. These can't be anticipated a year in advance. In many cases, we are reacting to whatever crazy legislation proposals the
current gov't tables. In order to influence policy we need funds to hold events that promote the consultations and submissions done by our policy committee. </div>

To be fair, we try to consult lawyers licensed to practice in the target jurisdiction when figuring out what we can legally do somewhere! Most of these cases (where it is not simply illegal for us to provide funding) involve a number of pretty complicated
rules that really need local legal advice so that we can remain compliant. The results have not always been satisfying to chapters or to us, I must say, in part because lawyers are often the bearers of unwelcome news. But I'm certainly all ears for suggestions
that seem likely to work & will take them to local legal representation for evaluation.
