Legislative and Agency Agenda The agenda for the 2007 Door County Legislative Days can be found here.
Previous Success Past Door County Legislative Days were held in April 2003 and May 2005 and were deemed a great success. The exceptional turnout of about 100 Door County delegates each year, combined with the warm reception that the delegation receives in Madison and, most importantly, the excellent progress that has been achieved with implementation of our Legislative and State Agency agendas, has inspired the Legislative Days Steering Committee to repeat the event in 2007.
How to Participate The 2007 Door County Legislative Days again required a large number of local delegates to effectively call on all legislators. Anyone interested in participating was able to register on-line at www.DCLegislativeDay.com. Questions about the event could be directed to the Door County Economic Development Corporation (DCEDC) by phone at 920-743-3113 or e-mail bill@doorcountybusiness.com. To encourage participation in the 2007 event, delegate registration was only $20, made possible by financial sponsors including local government, civic groups and private businesses.
