 13th Annual Legislative Briefing and
Reception
Tuesday, April 15, 2008
Legislators
traditionally give credence to those constituents who
actually travel to Lansing and make a personal visit
with them and their top staff members. Legislators want
to know and discuss issues that are important to their
constituents. Face-to-face meetings educate legislators
on our issues and help them to make informed decisions
when it comes time to vote on a piece of legislation.
We urge firms to send
several people (preferably from different Senate and
House districts, and at least one young associate or
intern) so that we can send a powerful voice to our
State Legislators. Become active, form a relationship
with your legislators, and make your voice heard!
