NCISS BOARD VOTES TO SUPPORT PPIAC & COLORADO LICENSING EFFORT
|
In a precedent setting vote, the NCISS Board of Directors voted to send $500 to support the licensing effort in Colorado. In addition to the amount voted on by the board, individual board members contributed an additional $2500 from their own pockets for a total of $3000 to assist PPIAC in the related expenses.
