Kansas Association of Beverage Retailers: Legislative Lunch and Retailer Meeting
Wednesday, February 21 - Topeka
The Pennant, 2nd floor private room, 915 S Kansas Ave, Topeka, KS 66612
11:00 a.m. KABR Business and Policy meeting - Board Members and KABR Members
12:00 - 1:15 p.m. Legislators Luncheon - State Legislators and Retailers
Since the Beer Law, retailers have not been as active with the Kansas Legislature, but it is time to get back into action. There are many new legislators in the House of Representatives who need to see and learn from their retailers. Come to Topeka for a short business meeting and lunch with legislators.
The Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee appears likely to take action on SB 253 - the Walmart Home Delivery legislation. A House Bill was introduced to allow wine in grocery stores. Retailers must communicate with policymakers to represent our small businesses for these issues and those that will be coming up in the future.
Stick around to attend the Kansas Wine and Spirits Wholesalers Reception from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Beacon Building.
1. If you haven't already, please RSVP. We will invite your legislator(s) to the lunch if we know you are attending.
2. Contact your legislator in advance to be sure they will join you for the lunch or for a meeting in their office before or after our event.
3. Communicate with Amy to let her know that you have made contact.
Dress is business casual.
Do not wait until February 21 to reach out to your legislators! Let us know if you need help to make contact.
