About Us

Government/Legislative Involvement

One of the core missions of LifeScience Alley is to inform public policy makers about the impact of Minnesota's thriving life sciences industry. Our Government Committee identifies issues important to our membership, develops consensus recommendations, and advocates at both state and federal levels. With a collective voice of over 250,000 life sciences employees, we have significant influence and legislative power.

If you are a LifeScience Alley member, please let us know if you'd like to be added to the Government Committee and/or receive meeting notices.
