Public Affairs Committee
Our Public Affairs committee has been hard at work for The Junior League of Macon, Inc. working along side with SPAC (State Public Affairs Committee of the Junior Leagues of Georgia).
You may have questions regarding legislators, legislation, how to register to vote, where you go to vote, or you may just want to refresh your memory from your primary school education. Below is a comprehensive list of web addresses to help you with all of your questions. The Public Affairs Committee members would like your feedback on the helpfulness of these sites. Thank you!
