Kansas Livestock Association has announced that registration is open for its Legislative Meeting and Dinner. The event is scheduled for February 17 and will take place at the Townsite Tower in Topeka. All meetings and meals throughout the day will be held at this single location for convenience.
The day will begin with a complimentary lunch at 11:30 a.m. The lunch is sponsored by Equity Bank and KLA Environmental Services. This meal provides an opportunity for members to connect before formal discussions begin. Lunch and the legislative meeting are free for members to attend.
At 1:00 p.m., KLA’s lobbying team will present an analysis of bills currently under consideration in the Kansas Legislature. These discussions will focus on issues important to the livestock and agricultural community. Members will have the opportunity to ask questions, share viewpoints, and take official positions on proposed legislation. This feedback helps guide KLA staff as they represent member interests at the state level.
The evening portion of the event will begin at 6:00 p.m. with a social hour and dinner involving state legislators. All 165 members of the Kansas Legislature have been invited to attend. Members are encouraged to sit with their local representative or senator during dinner to discuss KLA positions and legislative priorities. The cost of dinner is $50 per person.
Online registration and hotel information are available through the KLA website. The deadline for booking hotel rooms is January 20. Early registration is encouraged to secure accommodations and event access.
Several parking options will be available on the day of the event. Street parking on Kansas Avenue is free during business hours with a two-hour limit, while side streets offer free or metered parking. A free parking lot at Kansas Avenue and 4th Street is one block away and suitable for larger vehicles. Additional parking is available at nearby garages with hourly rates and extended access during the dinner.
