Oct. 23-25, 2019 | Kansas City, Mo.
Join your legislative staff colleagues from across the nation to connect, contribute and collaborate on successful strategies to help you in your career. This year we'll meet in the Heart of America—Kansas City, Mo.—aka the City of Fountains and BBQ Capital.
The seminar is designed to help attendees share solutions, discuss innovative uses of communication, increase their effectiveness and forge important connections with peers from around the country. The meeting features a blend of classroom experiences, facilitated dialogue and experiential tours. There will also be plenty of time to network with your counterparts from other states.
The Legislative Information and Communications Staff (LINCS) professional development seminar is designed by legislative staff, for legislative staff, and it happens only once a year—don't miss it!
LINCS is the professional association for those who work in communications in state legislatures. Please visit the LINCS webpage for more information.
