ASLCS 80th Anniversary Logo

The American Society of Legislative Clerks and Secretaries (ASLCS) is hosting its annual professional development seminar for principal clerks and secretaries and their staffs.  

This year’s meeting takes place in Eugene, Ore., and aims to bring together U.S. and international participants to learn important skills and procedures, build relationships, and take away new tools and ideas to enhance the effectiveness of state legislatures. 

Also on the agenda are sessions on parliamentary procedure, leadership, interoffice communications and managing up; breakout sessions for principals and associates; the Legislative Expo; and meetings of the standing committees and special committees.  

In addition, our hosts are planning an array of social events to allow attendees to network with their counterparts from other states while experiencing the best of the Pacific Northwest!
