Leadership Staff Section Annual Professional Development Seminar Sept. 2-6, 2008
Leadership Staffers….Restart Your Engines!
State legislative leadership staff from across the nation are heading to Indianapolis, Indiana this fall for the annual professional development seminar of the NCSL Leadership Staff Section. Here is your opportunity to "restart your engine" as you head into the exciting election season and the demanding 2009 legislative sessions that follow. Things are changing everywhere and this meeting offers you a special opportunity to ponder those trends, hone new skills and develop networks with colleagues in other states.
Social Events and Area Attractions
You'll get a special insider's look at the motorsports industry from the economic development perspective, including a visit and tour at the famous "brickyard"--the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Indianapolis is a vibrant, accessible and fun city. The extensive training agenda includes visits to Indiana's beautiful capitol building, the nearby Indianapolis Zoo and ample time to get out into the city to enjoy it's fine restaurants and cultural attractions. Learn more at http://www.indy.org/.
There is no other meeting like this--designed by leadership staff, for leadership staff--and it happens only once every year. Don't miss it!
Training Designed to Meet Your Needs….
This meeting is designed by your colleagues who work in state legislatures, not by some far away consulting firm that does not understand legislatures or your work. The training agenda features a blend of classroom experiences, facilitated dialog, experiential tours and all-important "down-time" when you can really get to know people from other legislatures to build important professional networks and connections. You want to be the best you can be in your leadership staff role and this event is designed to help you get there.
