Legislative Information and Communication Staff Section 
2008 Professional Development Seminar

Louisville, Kentucky 
September 3-6, 2008

Seminar Overview

The LINCS Professional Development Seminar is an annual event that brings together employees who are responsible for public information, media relations or civic education services in state legislatures. LINCS members attend our annual professional development seminar to share solutions and discuss innovative uses of technology.  The seminar provides a combination of educational sessions, demonstrations, and networking opportunities.

This year's seminar again offers a one-day boot camp.  The NCSL Legislative Information and Communications Staff Section (LINCS) will hold its seminar concurrently with NALIT, with some sessions held jointly.  Please join us for a unique learning experience and opportunity to meet with colleagues from other states.
