Cawood Cornelius, Rosalind Dennis, Betsy Razza, and Nan Brown
lobbied at the State Capitol in 2008 to including library media
specialists in the Return to Work Retirement Bill (SB327). This bill
allows a retired teacher, principal, superintendent, media specialist or
counselor to return to full-time employment and continue to collect his or
her full retirement benefit. The original language of this bill excluded
media specialists. Through lobbying efforts, however, GLMA was able to
get media specialists included in this legislation. |
Betsy Razza, Jean Auenson, Barbara Hallstrom, Kathleen Disney,
Susan Grigsby, Nan Brown, Sherry Grove, Joan Abraham, and Cawood Cornelius

for expenditure controls to ensure that library funds appropriated by the
legislature reached their librarys. |
