Why is it important for public health workers and healthcare professionals to understand Minnesota’s legislative process? Where are the opportunities for our input? How can we effectively make our voices heard by policymakers?

Join this nonpartisan lunchtime legislative training series to learn digestible, shareable, and actionable knowledge about our state’s legislative process. This series is co-hosted by the Minnesota Public Health Association, Minnesota Rural Health Association, and Minnesota Oral Health Coalition.
