Home » One Surveyor's Legislative Journey on Capitol Hill
As surveyors, we are accustomed to climbing hills … but the hill I climbed this time was unlike any other. On April 14, I arrived at Reagan National Airport in the District of Columbia from Dallas. I was a delegate with the Richardson Chamber of Commerce, and our task was to walk the hill, meet with legislators, and discuss topics relative to our business, region, state and country, then report back to our local leaders on what we had found.
Our delegates included the mayor of Richardson, Paul Voulker, and several members of the Richardson city council, like Bill Sproul, chamber president/CEO, Randy Ford, COO, National Write Your Congressman, Dr. Kathryn Eggleston, president of Richland College, and a few other education and business representatives from the area. This was a great field party of highly educated and experienced professionals. This was a joint effort of the Richardson Chamber of Commerce, National Write Your Congressman and Congressman Pete Sessions.
