NALC's Field Plan for the Future
NALC President William H. Young, introduced the new Field Plan for State Organizations at the
State Legislative Chairs Meeting which took place on January 31, 2006. The plan, which will be
introduced to the delegates at the Iowa State Convention in Ft. Dodge, outlines basic steps
every state needs to take to lay the groundwork for meaningful legislative and political
activism. It includes developing leaders' skills to run legislative and political campaigns as well
as to work with organizations outside of the NALC. It defines advanced techniques to run local
and statewide campaigns by activists. The plan is divided into 4 main categories:
Infrastructure, Communication, Education and Activism.
By the time this Field Plan is completed, the NALC will have an incredibly powerful tool to
advance its legislative and political agenda; its members.
