Dear «pre» «lname»:
I am honored to serve as the Chair of the Midwestern Legislative Conference (MLC) of The Council of State Governments, and I look forward to bringing this special event to Detroit next July 19-22, 2020. On behalf of the Michigan Legislature, I invite you to participate in this landmark celebration, as Michigan hosts the 75th Annual Meeting of the MLC. Please join Michigan’s legislative leaders and me in welcoming legislators from 11 states and 4 Canadian provinces as they visit Pure Michigan. MLC’s 75th Annual Meeting will bring together hundreds of lawmakers and guests to discuss a wide variety of issues important to our region. It will feature guest presentations from leading thinkers and policy experts in fields ranging from agriculture, education and economic development to criminal justice, health, fiscal affairs and more. The conference also includes evening social events for all attendees, as well as a full lineup of special activities for spouses, children, and guests to highlight some of the Detroit area’s finest attractions. Additional details including a preliminary program, registration, keynote speakers, session topics and social events will be sent to you early next spring. As you consider your charitable giving for 2020, we respectfully ask you to consider setting aside funds to support our 2020 Legislative Conference. To provide the high-quality programming that members and guests have come to expect, this huge undertaking can only be successful with your help. In the months to come, we will contact you directly to make a formal pledge of support for this event. Since registration fees cover only a portion of the costs of this conference, we rely on the generous support of sponsors like you. In addition to receiving complimentary conference registrations, all MLC sponsors are acknowledged in several ways throughout the year and during the conference. We will also honor our contributors during a special reception that is held during the annual meeting. Please note that early sponsors (contributions or pledges received prior to February 3, 2020) will also be acknowledged in the registration brochure sent to all legislators and other potential attendees across the region next spring. We will include logos for contributors at the Chairman’s Circle and Diamond levels. MLC’s Annual Meeting rotates into Michigan only once every dozen years. Next year’s conference provides us with a rare opportunity to showcase the best that our state has to offer to neighbors from across the Midwest and Canada. A strong partnership is critical to the success of this event, so we thank you for your consideration and hope you will join us next summer in Detroit.
Sincerely,
Senator Ken Horn, 2020 Chair Midwestern Legislative Conference
Senator Mike Shirkey Senate Majority Leader
Senator Jim Ananich Senate Minority Leader
Representative Lee Chatfield
Representative Christine Greig House Democratic Leader
