Action Alerts and special notices
The Wisconsin Association of Lakes works to advance policy initiatives on issues important to lakes (aquatic invasive species, shorelands, polluted runoff, groundwater, and others) through legislation and administrative rules.
We represent our membership by serving as the unified voice for lakes to decision makers, but progress for our lakes at the state level relies on engaged citizens making contact with legislators, offering testimony, passing resolutions, and demonstrating support for lake issues locally.
Action Alerts from the Wisconsin Association of Lakes, help our lake organization and individual members stay connected to the action at the state Capital, and keep their own memberships informed and participating in the creation of lake policy
Wisconsin Association of Lakes members receive:
- analysis of lake policy issues, their potential effect on lakes, and talking points on various bills and administrative rules
- notification of opportunities for citizens to participate in the policy making process (public hearings, listening sessions, comment periods)
- guidance on the when, whos, and hows of contacting decision makers on specific issues
- sample resolutions, sample letters to legislators, and press releases
- tracking progress of WAL policy initiatives and lake related bills and rules as they move through the legislature
Our members also receive special announcements about lake education and other events, membership surveys, and opportunities for input on member services.
