The Michigan Food & Beverage Association represents members at the local, state, and federal levels of government on important issues that effect medium and small businesses in Michigan.  We have our own lobbyists and have created a member based Legislative Task Force to continuously review industry legislation and work towards small business reform legislation.

To assist members in voicing their opinions on legislative matters, we have created a Directory page in our Member Pavillion with links to government elected and appointed officials and agencies they might wish to contact.

This event offers members the opportunity to network and have lunch with elected and appointed government officials to discuss issues important to their businesses. The Michigan Food & Beverage Association and our Legislative Task Force hold this unique event on the front lawn of the Capitol.

A key opportunity for members to actively participate in legislative reform that can benefit their businesses is our Legislative Task Force. Spend some time with State officials, our board members and our lobbyists discussing critical issues and share what you would like to see here in Michigan.

Each quarter the Association publishes this publication which highlights controversial and hot topics in the Michigan Legislature that could positively or negatively impact smaller businesses. It has guest writers that are elected or government officials.

Every month the Michigan Food & Beverage Association updates and provides in-depth information in our Member Pavilion on a wide variety of legislative issues like the Michigan Business Tax, Smoking Ban, Tort Reform, Penny Plan, Item Pricing Law, Estate Taxes, Minimum Wage Increase Updates and much more.
