Upcoming Meeting Schedule
On February 13, MABA members participated in Business Day at the Monona Terrace and State Capitol. The MABA group joined fellow Wisconsin Builders Association (WBA) members from around the state, as well as other Wisconsin business leaders from a variety of industries, to listen to several nationally-renowned speakers. Among the speakers was Pat Roggensack, a current candidate for re-election for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The day concluded with Gov. Scott Walker, who spoke directly to the interests of the business community detailing how his administration is working on bold entitlement reform and improving Wisconsin’s economic engine.

In addition, the group was briefed by WBA leaders on its legislative agenda, which empowered the group to talk extensively about critical building-related issues at the State Capitol. After the briefing, the group met with Dane County legislators at the Capitol to advocate on behalf of WBA’s legislative agenda. The group spoke face-to-face with elected, local officials, informing them of concerns affecting our local shelter industry. The common theme throughout the legislative meetings became clear: HOUSING=JOBS.
