MMH & RVCA has one of the most active, respected and effective legislative
programs in the state of Michigan. The association retains the services
of a respected and experienced law firm (Dykema Gossett) and legislative
consultant (Public Affairs Associates) to ensure that our members' interests
are being represented.
Under the guidelines established by the association's executive board
and legislative committee, the staff works with our legal and legislative
counsels to monitor the progress of legislation that affects our industries
and contributes its input to assure that our viewpoints are represented,
understood and protected. The association's legislative program has enjoyed
an outstanding track record. Members are kept informed about the progress
of legislation that could affect their business through the association's
informative e-newsletter, the Communicator.
The association's influence in the Michigan legislature is augmented
by one of the state's largest and most effective Political Action Committees. (PAC)
Funds from the association's PAC are contributed to the campaigns of those
candidates who understand and support our industries.
