Sen. Moore Encourages Worcester Residents to Attend Citizens Legislative Seminar
Sunday, August 30, 2015
Senator Michael Moore (D-Millbury) said, "“I encourage residents of the Second Worcester District to participate in this unique learning experience. The program provides a first-hand opportunity to engage in the legislative process, and to get a better understanding of the work done by Legislators and staff on Beacon Hill.”
The CLS was established in 1976 as part of a collaborative effort between the Senate and UMASS. The two-day seminar will feature presenations by Senators and staff members on the day-to-day experience of state legislators. Topics include the history and process of the Legislature, the parliamentary role of the Clerk of the Senate and the future of the Legislature.
“The Citizens’ Legislative Seminar is part of the Massachusetts Senate’s ongoing effort to increase civic engagement and open up the democratic process,” said Senate President Stan Rosenberg (D-Amherst). “This is an excellent learning experience and I encourage those interested to contact their Senator.”
A simulated legislative hearing and Senate session follows the seminar and 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.
The CLS will be held from 9:30 AM to 4 PM on both days.
For residents of the Second Worcester District that are interested in being nominated by Senator Moore to join the CLS, contact the Senator's office at (617) 722-1485 by Monday, September 21st. Participation is on a first come, first served basis. Additional information about the program is available on the Legislature’s website, https://malegislature.gov/Engage/EducationalOpportunities/CitizensLegislativeSeminar.
