Legislative Day in Jefferson City is an annual event designed to bring together restaurant operators throughout Missouri to call on senators and representatives from their legislative district back home. Although MRA has members at the Missouri Capitol throughout the legislative session, Legislative Day remains the one day the industry is present in the greatest numbers to promote the industry's legislative initiatives and priorities.
The event begins at 9:00 a.m. with a breakfast meeting where members are briefed on the issues and educated on successfully engaging with legislators. The group then proceeds to the Capitol to meet with their state representatives and senators.
Legislative Day concludes with the Taste of Missouri, a food-focused event that is marked on the calendar of every Missouri senator and representative and their staff members. All are invited to enjoy fare from Missouri’s restaurants in the Capitol Rotunda. MRA members have additional opportunities to engage on the issues, and legislators leave with a remembrance of the excellence of the restaurants in our state. MRA's 2019 Legislative Day is scheduled for April 3. Plan to join your fellow restaurateurs in Jefferson City.
