Conversations Peer-to-Peer Solutions
State Assembly
Leadership Committee
Peer exchange
is more important now than ever in promoting strategic state assembly
management. Join colleagues for peer-to-peer conversations on topics designed
to discuss the latest challenges confronting state assemblies. To ensure
optimal engagement and interaction, these exchanges will occur in roundtable small group formats that will run for 20 minutes each. Attendees will be able to choose from various topics and rotate through the ones that interest them the most. Where the
conversation goes is entirely up to you and your fellow professionals!
