Why Attend?

Advocacy – Legislative Day is AIA Michigan’s largest advocacy event of the year, organized specifically for AESLC. It is the one day of the year where architects, engineers and surveyors from all over the state come together (virtually in 2021) to show strength in numbers and share their concerns and experience with legislators.
 
Knowledge –You’ll learn about the issues, how the legislative process works, and how the potential outcomes can affect our profession.

Educate – Lawmakers need you to educate them on the role professional architects and engineers play in protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the public. We are here as a resource for them.

Impact – Lawmakers need to hear from YOU, their constituents, before they make decisions on legislative proposals that could significantly impact the architecture profession, construction industry and our communities.

By attending Legislative Day, you’re building relationships, helping to influence change and make a difference.

Let your voice be heard and register by March 12th to guarantee your appointments! Register today!
