Thank you to all the companies that contributed to support it happening. Mattr Block IOHK Lumedic Symsoft Solutions IDMachines Our lobbyist Jamie Minor of Niemela Pappas &. Associates and Ally Medina who headed the Blockchain Advocacy Coalition for most of the time and believed in our vision to get some legislation specifically about verifiable credentials passed. It goes to show that when a small group gets together and focuses along with the right knowledge to navigate the political system good things can happen. I hope we can learn from this and work together in other jurisdictions. - Kaliya On Thu, Sep 29, 2022 at 8:25 AM Shawn Butterfield < sbutterfield@salesforce.com> wrote: > Congrats, Kaliya!
