Strong States Strong Nation - From the state of Washington to Washington, D.C.

For 229 years, the strength of America’s states has been the foundation of a strong nation. Independence, innovation, cooperation and the collective energy of the 50 states endow the nation with ideas, solutions and vision.

NCSL’s Annual Meeting is a call to the nation’s leaders, lawmakers and legislative staff to convene in Seattle, Washington, in August to discuss the most important issues facing America today and to deliberate the present and future of the states and their role in invigorating the federal government.

Strong States, Strong Nation is the premier gathering of state legislators this year. Don't miss this opportunity for valuable story ideas, contacts and 50-state perspectives at the NCSL 2005 Annual Meeting.

Register now to participate in the largest meeting of its kind, held at the Washington State Convention & Trade Center, August 16-20, 2005 - 800 Convention Place, Seattle, Washington.

Get bang for your buck! Statehouse reporters who are in Seattle for NCSL's Annual Meeting should also plan to attend the 2005 Capitol Beat Conference hosted by the Association of Capitol Reporters and Editors August 19 - 21.
