Government Affairs & Legislation Council

The Latest Council Activities and News

MI-AWWA collaborates with the Michigan Water Environment Association on policy issues, working with lobbying firm Midwest Strategy Group to influence legislation and regulations. As a member driven organization, much of our advocacy work is done through our Board and Government Affairs Council. If you are interested in getting involved in particular issue or in volunteering on the Government Affairs Council, please contact staff.
