September 8, 2010

In the next several weeks Bail USA will begin its Listening Tour.

Our Government Affairs Department Executive Director, Mike Donovan along with Patricia Edmonson and John LaCombe will be traveling the country sitting down with each of you and listening to the issues that are affecting your industry. We don't profess to have all the answers, but as always Bail USA will do whatever we can to help you. We will begin the tour on the West coast. John LaCombe along with Richard Moore from the Americans for the Preservation of Bail will be calling you. They would like to sit down with each of our bail agents and listen to your concerns regarding bail.

 

Their schedule is as follows:

Week of September 6th: Michigan and Indiana

Week of September 13th: Colorado, Utah, Jackpot, NV, Idaho

Week of September 20th: Reno, Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Diego

Week of September 27th: Los Angeles, Bay Area, Sacramento

Week of October 4th: Seattle, Tacoma, Las Vegas October 11th: Convention time at the Green Valley Resort!

 

As they travel they will be posting blogs. Follow them and the issues your fellow bail agents are concerned about. Stay tuned! Log on to hear the issues and join us at our 2010 Bail USA Convention at the Green Valley Resort in Henderson Nevada, just outside of Las Vegas. This year's convention is one you don't want to miss. Come and personally meet the two people you have been hearing so much about in the last year, Michael Donovan and Richard Moore.

As you can see Bail USA is investing money into your future. Our goal for the remainder of this year and for 2011 is to listen to you and coach you how to become more proactive with legislation. Only you can change your industry. One of the greatest lessons learned in Colorado is the issue we are fighting is not pretrial, it is public safety. What taxpayer or legislator can argue with that logic? Come to the convention and listen to the logic behind this statement.

I have had a lot of fun with my segment "Coffee with Cheryl". As we head to the convention please watch for my two latest segments. Judge Nancy Russo of Cleveland and Brian Shipwash of North Carolina agreed to be my guests. Both should be on the website www.bailusa.net soon.

I hope to see you at our 2010 Convention at the Green Valley Ranch Resort where our theme is "Behind Enemy Lines". If you need information call Bridget Thomas at 1-800-245-0366 today! The convention will not be all business, our opening session is a BBQ by the pool, Monday afternoon we will have a dunking booth to benefit cancer and on Wednesday we will have a team building exercise. See you there!

Don't forget you can win your expenses to the convention paid for by being the winner of the "Day in the Life of a Bail agent" video contest! Submit your video by September 20th to be included in the judging. Contact Bridget if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Cheryl Burns
