New Business Items

Each year the WEA starts the year with a zero budget (or something like that). This means that they start at zero and prioritize expenditures based on the votes of the new business items (NBIs). The initial NBIs focus on addressing federal initiatives and funding efforts to influence lawmakers at the state level. Additionally, the body passed a NBI to strengthen Social Security.

These NBIs seem to support 'business as usual', with lobbying and the like. The fourth NBI, NBI D, is a call for local action. This would lend support to local associations from WEA for locals to design individualized actions.

I am still hoping for inspiration.
