Upcoming Colorado Legislative Day

On Wednesday, February 5th, CPCA will be participating in a Coalition Lobby Day at the Colorado State Capitol in Denver, alongside other members of the broader pesticide user coalition.

We strongly encourage any members who are available and interested to attend! This is a great opportunity to take your first step into advocacy, and CPCA Board Members will be there to support you.

It's crucial that our legislators hear directly from YOU, not just from those who oppose our industry.

 

Together with other pesticide applicators, we will meet with legislators to discuss the safety, sustainability, and importance of our work—ensuring the pest control industry’s voice is heard loud and clear!

 

Here’s the schedule for the day:

  • 7:00 AM: Arrive at the Capitol, Group Discussion
  • 7:30 AM: Breakfast Reception with Legislators
  • 9:00 AM: Direct Lobbying during Floor Work (Advance Directions Provided)
  • 11:00 AM: Scheduled 1-on-1 Meetings with Legislators
  • 12:30 PM: Lunch and Recap

 

Breakfast and lunch will be provided for all attendees. We hope you can join us—it’s vital that legislators hear your perspective, not just that of those with concerns about pesticides. Please click this link now to register for the lobby day.  Our lobbyist will help connect you with legislators who represent your home or work district before the event.  

 

We look forward to seeing you there!
