Legislative & Regulatory Outlook to Prepare for Next Year
As we approach a pivotal election year and a shifting legislative landscape, now is the time to equip your business with the knowledge and tools to stay ahead. Join us for Breakfast With Purpose, a high-impact morning of insight, strategy, and connection — designed to help you navigate what’s next.
Last year, we partnered with the Michigan Manufacturers Association (MMA) to successfully advocate for common-sense updates to the Earned Sick Time Act (ESTA) on behalf of our clients and West Michigan employers. With the MMA’s strong voice in Lansing, we’re committed to keeping you informed about any disruptive legislation, like ESTA, that could impact your business.
Join us on Tuesday, September 16 from 7:30am – 9:00am for breakfast and a powerful morning of insight and strategy presented by David Worthams, Director of Employment Policy at the Michigan Manufacturers Association & Commissioner at the Michigan Civil Rights Commission, who is a leading voice in workforce development and business advocacy.
This event offers a unique opportunity for business leaders, HR professionals, and decision-makers to gain critical insights that can directly impact workforce strategy, policy engagement, and long-term planning.
Topics Include:
- The Going PRO Talent Fund: Learn about potential changes to the next funding cycle, the application process, and how employers can benefit from this powerful upskilling resource.
- Your Voice in Lansing: Why your voice matters now more than ever, how your business can make a difference, and best practices for advocating at our capitol.
- The 2026 Election Cycle: What’s at stake for Michigan businesses and how to prepare.
- Legislative Outlook: While the details are still unfolding, we’ll look ahead at what’s on the horizon for businesses — including potential budget shifts, emerging risks and opportunities, and strategies to stay informed and adaptable in a changing environment.
