Lobby for Your Issues
At Restaurant Lobby Day, you can educate lawmakers on how regulations affect your business – the key to protecting your business in government. It’s your opportunity to explain your point of view, face-to-face, on the issues that matter most.

Keeping You Informed
Members receive legislative alerts and news on hot issues, as the action is happening. WRA keeps Wisconsin restaurants on top of laws and regulations governing the industry and explains how any changes in regulation impact your business.

"One of the most important reasons I belong to the WRA… they keep us informed on what is going on at a state and federal level.”

- Rose Hunt Kienholz,
Heckel’s Family Restaurant in Chippewa Falls
