MPI Wisconsin is excited to present you the opportunity to hear state legislators address member concerns.
We have invited representatives to speak with you, to listen to you, and to meet with you so that you may better present the meeting planning industry to the government at the state level.
Part of the day's program includes education on how to lobby for issues that affect you. Experts from the Wisconsin Innkeepers Association and professional lobbyists have agreed to attend and share their methodology with you.
We need your help. If you are interested in helping lead your district's members at the Strategy Session and then at the legislative visits, please contact Cindy Foley (715) 422-7058 or Sherry Lee, CMP (608) 267-2380.
