About

The ESCOP Budget and Legislative Committee (BLC) is charged with developing annual justifications for the federal budget process and legislative priorities, including the Farm Bill, in consultation with other sections of the APLU Board on Agricultural Assembly (BAA) and other stakeholders. The ESCOP BLC is aligned with two standing committees of the BAA Policy Board of Directors: Budget and Advocacy Committee (BAC) and Committee on Legislation and Policy (CLP).
