2023 Legislative Forum
Tuesday, April 11; 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. (In-person)
On April 11, the Michigan Primary Care Association will be hosting its annual State Legislative Forum in-person in Lansing. This is a great opportunity for health centers to share their compelling mission and challenges, and discuss key policy priorities with legislators. With a large group of new state legislators taking office this year, it’s a critical time to build relationships with legislators, some of which will be spending the next decade in Lansing.
The forum will be preceded by a Zoom prep webinar (strongly recommended for attendees) on Thursday, April 6 (12-1 p.m.), and an optional Friends of Michigan’s Community Health Centers fundraising dinner on Monday evening, April 10.
Please register here to participate in MPCA’s Legislative Forum. The cost per participant is $150 and each person participating should complete the registration process. (Note: MPCA uses registration information to determine which legislators to schedule meetings with. We’ll be less able to schedule meetings with pertinent legislators for late registrants.)
