Description
Legislative Affairs is one of the five open committees of the Associated Students of Madison (ASM) and is in charge of advocating for students at the city, county, and state level. We organize grassroots campaigns and lobby our local and state representatives for policies that benefit students and protect funding for UW-Madison. The goal of this committee is to deepen its members' knowledge of the Wisconsin legislative process and hone their skills through lobby-training workshops and direct interaction with campus leaders and local officials. This committee coordinates with other open committees of ASM to ensure the student voice is heard. Legislative Affairs has combined meetings with the ASM Shared Governance Committee to form a Student Advocacy Committee.
