Come join us for Lead Education Day on Thursday, March 14th from 8:00am to 4:00pm at the Michigan State Capitol! This event will be coordinated by the Michigan Environmental Council (MEC) and members from the Michigan Alliance for Lead Safe Homes (MIALSH). We will be educating lawmakers on how to end the issues of childhood lead poisoning in Michigan. This event includes:
· Joining small teams with a seasoned team leader and meeting with state legislative leaders to share knowledge about lead poisoning prevention opportunities and challenges in Michigan
· A light breakfast and a hot lunch with an inspiring keynote speaker
· Carpools and ride shares available for those in Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Detroit, and surrounding areas
· A pre Lead Education Day training webinar (which will be recorded to listen to at any time) outlining what to expect the day of, a review of our talking points, and answering your questions to prepare you for the exciting and worthwhile day ahead
· A “capitol steps” group photo to remember the day
This is a great way to meet new people who care
about lead poisoning prevention and network with other advocates! A wide
variety of people come including lead abatement professionals, contractors,
families, state and local government officials. Kids are welcome as well.
The deadline to register is March 6th,
