Advocacy Committee

The Advocacy Committee concerns itself with political action and advocacy on behalf of our members and the Graphic Arts industry in California. Through this committee, our chapter works with government, annd other organizations to promote the mission and interests of the Guild.

The primary work of this committee in recent years has been concerned with the issue of the elimination of sales tax for graphic artists in California. Individuals interested in how the graphic arts industry relates to government and society would enjoy sitting on this committee. It also offers numerous opportunities to meet with elected officials and other policy makers in the process of advocating for the rights of graphic artists.

Currently opportunities exist to help maintain the pressure in Sacramento regarding sales tax, as well as the national effort to obtain collective bargaining rights. Chair position open. If you are interested in volunteering for this committee, please come to the next steering meeting.
