The Northeast Pennsylvania Manufacturers and Employers Association (MAEA) will hold its Annual Legislative Roundtable from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Feb. 10 at the Pottsville Club.
MAEA maintains close contact with its state representatives and believes that each member should have the opportunity to meet their representative and discuss the issues that are of interest to them.
“The goal of communicating with lawmakers is to inform the member of the State General Assembly of its problem and persuade that member to take appropriate action,” said MAEA President Darlene J. Robbins. “This Roundtable will provide an opportunity for you to share your issues and concerns with our legislators and will be an information sharing session.”
Those who are confirmed for the Roundtable are state Sen. David Argall (R-29), state Rep. Mike Carroll (D-118), state Rep. Neal Goodman (D-123), state Rep. Doyle Heffley (R-122), state Rep. Mike Tobash (R-123) and state Rep. Jerry Knowles (R-124).
Topics up for discussion include prevailing wage, Marcellus Shale, redistricting, education reform, revenues, and Right to Work.
The cost to register, which includes breakfast, is $30 for members and $60 for non-members. To register, please email Darlene J. Robbins at drobbins@maea.biz, or call the MAEA office at (570) 622-0992. Visit www.maea.biz
