Feb. 13—The Texas Silver-Haired Legislature
Carol Peters, Member

Carol will share the mission and value of the Texas Silver-Haired Legislature (TSHL) as well as how you can be involved. TSHL is a “model legislative session” that enables older Texans to initiate and debate policies that affect them and their peers. The Texas Senate and Texas House concurrently support the work of a biennial Texas Silver-Haired Legislature.
Presenter: Carol is serving her seventh term as member of the Texas Silver-Haired Legislature. She is a graduate of Kent State University in Ohio with a bachelor’s degree in Education, French, Russian and started her teaching career in Fairport Harbor, Ohio, in 1968. Carol is a member of the American Rosie the Riveter Association, Texas Retired Teachers Association, and San Marcos Bluebonnet Lions Club. Since 1992, Carol has been the marketing director for her family’s business in Maxwell, and belongs to the Lockhart, Giddings, and San Marcos Chambers of Commerce.
