Team MAPE Day on the Hill 3/31/2010

Save the date! The 2010 Team MAPE Day on the Hill event will be held on March 31st at the Capitol.

What is Day on the Hill? Each year, MAPE members converge at the Capitol to lobby their legislators on key MAPE issues, like preventing layoffs, protecting retirement benefits and stopping the privatization of state services.

In 2009, Team MAPE Day on the Hill was an extraordinary success. Nearly 200 MAPE members attended the event. Facing a nearly $5 billion state budget deficit, which may result in layoffs and cuts, both MAPE members and legislators are looking for solutions to the budget crisis. Attendees also heard from speakers like Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, Speaker of the House Margaret Anderson Kelliher and Assistant Senate Majority Leader Tarryl Clark. Members spread out around the Capitol for meetings with their state senators and representatives, resulting in nearly 400 member-to-legislator contacts.

Join us for Day on the Hill on March 31st, 2010.
