Remember, folks, IMAGE IS EVERYTHING. To get "laypeople" to get on board with our effort (increase our group with public sector inflow) we MUST appear to have our act together, be well organized, well executed and be a well-oiled team working together.
The TJC doesn't mean "This is just an umbrella-- I can still do my own thing if I want"-- because such behavior will kill our Sunset the Texas State Bar Initiative with misinformation flowing out to the public. Worse, the very CANDIDATES we are trying to convince to vote to SUNSET the Bar will NOT take us seriously, and we will lose our one-shot opportunity to influence them to do this work for us next Session.
In ALL interfaces with the public, it is IMPERATIVE that we have ONE approval point: JIM CABANISS. Each member organization may issue whatever fliers, advertising, fundraising, etc. that they wish (and the more the better!) BUT SIMPLY NOTIFY JIM FIRST, GIVE HIM A COPY OF YOUR AD/FLIER OR A DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNDRAISING EFFORT, SO THAT TEAMWORK CAN CREATE THE SYNERGY WE NEED! Jim will ONLY ask you to change wrong information-- this is NOT a "control freak" thing-- it is a QUALITY CONTROL THING!
WE NEED TO LOOK BIG, WE NEED TO LOOK POWERFUL, WE NEED TO LOOK SUCCESSFUL-- BECAUSE WE ARE!!!
