Calling all Members! Plan Now to Attend the 2026 Green Industry Legislative Day!

On behalf of MNLA’s Legislative Committee and the MNLA Board of Directors, you are invited and encouraged to join your colleagues at our 2026 Green Industry Legislative Day being held March 2026. This is a morning of grassroots involvement to raise awareness of and promote the size and scope of Michigan's Green Industry. This event is critical for the defense of your interests at the State Capitol!

The day will start with an informational session providing protocol on the legislative system and the message we'll be delivering to each legislative office. From there we'll form groups and systematically visit each office in the State Legislature. The morning will end with lunch and reports on your visits.
