Legislative Day
24th Annual Architects, Engineers & Surveyors Legislative Day
Wednesday, April 17, 2019
Christman University, Ground Floor, The Christman Building, 208 N. Capitol, Lansing
Design Professionals (engineers, surveyors and architects) will be holding their annual “Lobby Day” on April 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 (CEPAC) 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!
