Dear «fname» «lname»:
Next summer, Kansas will host the 76 th Annual Meeting of the Midwestern Legislative Conference (MLC) of The Council of State Governments. We look forward to bringing this special event to Wichita on July 10-13, 2022, and we invite you to participate in what promises to be an outstanding conference. The MLC Annual Meeting brings together hundreds of lawmakers and guests, from 11 states and four Canadian provinces, to discuss a wide variety of issues important to our region. It features guest presentations from leading thinkers and policy experts in fields ranging from agriculture, education and economic development to criminal justice, health and fiscal affairs. The conference includes evening social events for all attendees, and a full lineup of activities for spouses, children, and guests. To produce an event like this, the MLC needs your assistance, and I hope we can count on your support. At this time, we respectfully ask and encourage you to set aside funds in your budget to support the 2022 MLC Annual Meeting . Then, in the months to come, we will contact you again, at which time we will ask you to make a formal pledge of support for this event. Because registration fees cover only a portion of the costs of this conference, we rely on the generous support of sponsors like you to provide high-quality programming and events for attendees. In addition to a range of donor benefits reflecting contribution levels, all MLC sponsors are acknowledged in several ways throughout the year and on site during the conference. We will also honor all of our contributors during a special reception that will be held in Wichita during the Annual Meeting. A contribution reply form with additional details about sponsorship levels and benefits is enclosed with this letter for your reference and use. The MLC Annual Meeting rotates to Kansas only once every 12 years. This is the first time the MLC has come to Wichita in 50 years. Our delegation is very excited to showcase the best Kansas, and Wichita, have to offer to neighbors from across the Midwest. A strong public-private partnership is critical to the success of this event, so we appreciate your consideration of this request. We hope you will join us next summer in Wichita!
Sincerely,
Sen. Carolyn McGinn, Kansas 2022 Chair, Midwestern Legislative Conference
