2015 MTGA-CEAM Poultry Day at the Capitol

Poultry Day at the Capitol is your chance to meet with legislators in a small group setting along with other Poultry Day attendees and talk about issues that are impacting poultry and agriculture. The relationships you form with legislators when you take time to visit the State Capitol are extremely valuable.

Make your voice count - register today!

How Poultry Day Works:

After you pre-register and indicate who your legislators are, MTGA/CEAM staff will designate you to a specific group (3-6 people, typically) and schedule appointments on your behalf. We will email you background information and your schedule ahead of time - and additionally, we will meet for a legislative briefing with staff and lobbyist Bruce Kleven prior to your appointments.

Tentative Schedule, February 5th:

8:00 AM—Breakfast & Legislative Briefing - at the Embassy Suites Hotel in downtown Saint Paul

9:15 AM-2:30 PM—Legislative appointments - MTGA/CEAM will schedule these meetings for you, so RSVPs are very important. We’ll focus on members of the agriculture committee, as well as your local legislators.

Lunch—On your own when it best fits in your appointment schedule. MTGA/CEAM will reimburse you for your meal cost.

2:30 PM - 3:30 PM—Poultry Debrief meeting in the State Office Building (room TBD) with attendees to recap your meetings and follow up on any questions and/or requests for information you receive.

Parking—MTGA/CEAM staff will distribute a map of available options, along with event materials and talking points, prior to Poultry Day.
