Advocacy

MALA advocates for you in Lansing.  The MALA Leadership team consisting of Robert Stein, Kathleen Murphy, Brenda Roberts, and Erin Wallace monitors and influences legislation, regulations, budget decisions, state agency policies, and other initiatives that impact association members.  This advocacy is based upon guidance from the MALA Board of Directors.

MALA collaborates with Kelley Cawthorne, one of Lansing’s premier lobbying firms, in advocating on behalf of providers.  Kelley Cawthorne’s bipartisan lobbying team includes former statewide elected officials, legislators, and staffers.

The MALA Political Action Committee (PAC) is a critical component of the association’s advocacy efforts.  The MALA PAC makes contributions to legislative candidates to ensure that they understand the issues facing association members.
