The purpose of the Legislative Committee is to serve as a liaison between the APA Executive Board and the Michigan Education Association-Political Action Committee (MEA-PAC). Additionally, the Legislative Committee aims to connect our APA Members with the federal, state and local issues that may affect them and their employment at MSU. Â
