You are invited to our 2019 conference

We would like to invite you to the Public Leadership Institute’s annual State Strategy Forum which is Friday, July 12 @6pm to Sunday, July 14 @1pm, at the Capital Hilton Hotel just two blocks from the White House. We will pay your registration and hotel directly and would reimburse up to $500 for your transportation to DC.

We are inviting about 120 progressive state legislators from more than 40 different states. The policy and leadership sessions, described below, are designed to be as practical and real-world as possible. We guarantee you’ll get a lot out of the workshops and will really enjoy socializing with like-minded colleagues from coast-to-coast.

If you can come, and for more details, please register via this online form. For questions, contact Bernie Horn at bhorn@publicleadershipinstitute.org
