The 2023-24 Wisconsin legislative session is well underway – and WEDA needs YOUR participation to successfully advocate for effective economic development policies that promote growth and prosperity. One of the best opportunities for you to engage in legislative advocacy is to attend the annual WEDA Legislative Day, which is scheduled for Wednesday, March 8, 2023, in Madison, WI.

This member only, FREE one-day event provides WEDA members with a unique opportunity to build relationships with state lawmakers and educate them on critical issues impacting Wisconsin’s economic development professionals and communities across the state.

Legislative Day will allow participants to network with WEDA colleagues, hear from key policymakers and other speakers, and participate in in-depth policy briefings and advocacy training. They will also have a chance to meet with their legislators in the State Capitol to discuss WEDA’s legislative priorities.

The issues attendees will be briefed on and will discuss with lawmakers include talent attraction, workforce housing, access to childcare, and preservation of Wisconsin's Tax Increment Finance (TIF) law - all of which are outlined in WEDA's 2023-24 Legislative Agenda.
