Listen to the Statewide Conference Call
Thanks to everyone who participated in TCADP's inaugural statewide conference call, which took place on June 9, 2009, and to our featured speakers Bob Van Steenburg and Les Breeding, who provided insight into the 81st Texas Legislative Session.
Download a recording of the call. (The call "officially" began about 7 minutes into the recording, if you'd like to skip ahead. It is also a big file so it may take a little time for the download.)
