Representative Ballweg attended the Ripon College panel

State Representative Joan Ballweg (R-Markesan) attended a panel at Ripon College last week to discuss Rising Voices: Woman in Public Discourse.

“I am proud to be a part of a commission with knowledgeable colleagues that are concerned about access for financially disadvantaged students in Wisconsin, “states Ballweg, “As a Legislator, this session I will focus on implementing the recommendations of the commission.”

State Representative Ballweg was selected to be part of this commission because of her work as chair of the Joint Legislative Council Special Committee on Review of Higher Education Financial Aid Programs. This committee laid the groundwork to improve student access to higher education, maximize utilization of higher education resources, and retain qualified graduates in Wisconsin.

State Representative Joan Ballweg (R-Markesan) has been re-appointed as Co-Chair of the Joint Legislative Council Committee for the 2013-14 Legislative Session by Assembly Speaker elect Robin Vos.

The Council's primary responsibility is to establish study committees to examine major issues and problems identified by the Legislature. The study committees appointed by the Council are made up of Legislators and citizen experts who are knowledgeable about the study topic. Citizens serving on Council study committees not only help in developing public policy, but also learn more about how their state government works.

“I am humbled by the confidence that leadership has shown by selecting me to Co-Chair Joint Legislative Council,” states Ballweg. “The in-depth studies on a variety of current subjects and the opportunity to work with public members are some of the reasons I am eager to serve a second term”
