The mission of the Legislative Watch Committee is to advise the Council on legislative activity, appropriations, and changes to existing laws and regulations that influence the field of archeology. In certain circumstances, the Council (or its Board) may decided to take collective action and in others it may simply alert membership to take individual action by contacting elected officials.
Committee Chair Stephen Israel
Committee Members: Jeanne Ward and Lyle Torp
