Sen. Fattman Seeks Nominees To Participate In Leg. Seminar

From The Office of Senator Fattman: State Senator Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton) announced today that he is seeking nominees to participate in the 80th Citizens' Legislative Seminar (CLS) to be held March 27th and March 28th at the State House in Boston. CLS is a semi-annual educational seminar geared towards adults of all ages interested in learning more about state government and the legislative process.

“Understanding of state politics is a valuable quality that is essential to the democratic process of the state of Massachusetts. I am excited to be able to extend this opportunity to residents of Southern Worcester County,” said Fattman.

Established in 1976 through a collaborative effort of the Massachusetts Senate and the University of Massachusetts, Boston, the two-day seminar features engaging presentations by Senators and staff on aspects of the day-to-day experience of legislators in the Commonwealth. Topics will include the history and process of the Legislature, the state budget, the parliamentary role of the Clerk of the Senate and the future of the Legislature. The Seminar will walk participants through the legislative process including how bills are introduced, debated, and passed.

The CLS culminates with a simulated legislative hearing and Senate session where participants are invited to use what they have learned and participate as “Senators” in the Senate Chamber in order to have a first-hand experience of the legislative process.

Interested residents in Southern Worcester County are invited to contact Chief of Staff Joseph Zarrella at 617-722-1420 by Friday, January 12th in order to be nominated by Senator Fattman. Seats are limited and nominations are taken on a first come, first serve basis.
