Term Limits Impact on Michigan: Let the Conversation Begin
presented by Kris Nicholoff, Executive Director, Michigan Osteopathic Association and Chairman of MSAE’s Term Limits Task Force and Gretchen Couraud, CAE, CFRE, Executive Director, Michigan Library Association |
| MSAE will release its findings on how Michigan’s legislative term limits ultimately affect relationships, outcomes and political agendas in Lansing. The comprehensive review covers the impact of the term limits law – the voter-approved 1992 initiative that changed the tenure of our members in the State Legislature. The MSAE White Paper is intended to contribute to the dialogue of the situation and facilitate an informed debate. |

| |
Join us for a friendly face-off as both the Democratic and Republican Party chairmen have a chance to provide their stance on some of the toughest public policy and political issues Michigan faces in 2012. From the upcoming presidential race to recent recall efforts – get the latest straight from the state party gurus. |

Few citizens have the level of political insider knowledge that compares to that of a lawmaker or lobbyist, and even fewer are able to lay claim to having been both a legislator and a lobbyist. MSAE is pleased to bring together the ultimate panel of insiders to discuss their unique experiences of having been a lobbyist AND a legislator, how these roles differ, what it’s like to transition from one to the other – and what happens when worlds collide. |
