Land Conservancy Day at the Michigan State Capitol: February 12, 2015
January 2015 marks the start of a new, two-year session of the Michigan legislature with many new faces in the House and Senate. Take this opportunity to build and strengthen relationships with your elected Reps and Senators in Lansing early in the session. Your participation in Land Conservancy Day will help them understand and appreciate the great work of your organization while supporting the state’s land conservancy community overall.
The afternoon of the 12th will be dedicated to face-to-face appointments with your selected legislators (set up by you with help from Heart of the Lakes). But we’ll help you fully prepare for these visits during a morning briefing session in downtown Lansing with land conservancy colleagues from around the state.
We encourage all Heart of the Lakes members to participate, not just those who frequently engage in policy work. Teams of two for each legislator visit work best—consider bringing multiple teams to visit more legislators! To Register: http://heartofthelakes.formstack.com/forms/lobby
