Legislative Committee

AMI's Legislative Committee guides the overall advocacy and data collection efforts of AMI, by directing AMI staff. The Legislative Committee's primary goals for 2018 are to:

• Conduct annual survey to identify and select legislative priorities
• Conduct annual survey aimed at defining policy problems and finding solutions
• Develop issue papers that clearly communicate AMI's positions on issues of importance
• Maintain improve and update AMI's survey tools so they continue to gather relevant data to members of the marina industry

The Committee is made up of both AMI Board and General Members. Committee members commit to three in-person meetings a year along with regular engagement via email and phone throughout the year. The Committee is open to any AMI General Member; members are encouraged to engage and represent the marina industry.
