Legislative Day
25th Annual Architects, Engineers & Surveyors Legislative Day
Tuesday, March 17, 2020
Christman University, Ground Floor, The Christman Building, 208 N. Capitol, Lansing
LEGISLATIVE DAY 2020 HAS BEEN CANCELED
Due to the concerns with the coronavirus and in light of the recent requests by the Governor and others to cancel events involving large groups of people, we have made the decision to cancel AESLC Legislative Day on March 17. We are assessing the possibility of rescheduling the event at a later date.
Instead of being part of the problem, we are doing our part to be part of the solution and keep everyone at home.
Thank you to everyone that signed up for the event.
Design Professionals (engineers, surveyors and architects) will be holding their annual “Lobby Day” on March 17. ACEC, AIA, MSPE and MSPS are collaborating to bring their members to Lansing to meet with legislators and educate them on issues that are important to the professions.
Past Lobby Days have been extremely successful by helping legislators understand the importance of properly funding infrastructure improvements and creating a business friendly environment in Michigan for practicing engineering, architects and surveyors.
Please plan to attend and bring a few others as we want to demonstrate the strength of our industry in Michigan. Education sessions will also be offered throughout the day for those needing continuing education credits. Legislators will listen to their constituents, so it is important that you meet with your Representative and Senator and make your voice heard.
Complete details, including the agenda and registration information, are in the Legislative Day Flyer. Please download the Flyer, complete the Registration Form, return it Kelley-Cawthorne as indicated on the form, and appointments will be made for you with your legislators. We also ask that attendees make a $75 contribution to the ACEC/Michigan PAC so that we can support the campaigns of those legislators who support our key initiatives.
Let’s make this year’s event the largest ever!
