By Feb. 24, 2017, designers are being asked to push for legislation to be introduced in the 2017 Maryland General Assembly that would establish the Maryland Design Excellence and Innovation Commission. "There is no better time than now to contact your delegates and senators to support design-drive initiatives on a state level," say organizers Stephanie Yoffee and Kathleen Mazurek. "We need your help in contacting Annapolis legislators (via email, in person or phone) to sign on as a sponsor."
