MSAE

Michigan Public’ Zoe Clark and Michigan Public Radio Network’s Rick Pluta talking about all things politics - including the historic dual open gubernatorial and US Senate races.

Loving Michigan Retailers Association’s Drew Beardsley’s sharing so many terrific examples of how can draw in and amplify the stories to help policy makers understand the real impact of legislation.

Featured sessions at today’s Public Policy Roundtable are being summarized live with Snapsight! Here’s a great example of a key takeaway from the conversation with the Chiefs of Staff for Speaker Hall and Senate Majority Leader Brinks:

🎯 Align Your Issues with Leadership Priorities: When advocating for your organization's priorities, find ways to connect your issue to the 's existing priorities. If housing is a major focus, frame your issue as part of the housing conversation. There's almost always a way to fit your priority into one of the main buckets leadership is working on.

The Public Policy Roundtable is off to a great start with Acuitas LLC’s Sarah Hubbard hosting an informative conversation with the Chiefs of Staff, Lindsay Young and Kathleen O’Reilly.
