More information

Capital Building-Madison, WIThe National Legislative Services and Security Association (NLSSA) hosts the only national training event designed exclusively for state legislative staff who work in the areas of security, administrative services and tourism management. 

This year, six staff sections have joined together to create "SuperPDS 2012",  a joint meeting in Madison, Wisconsin.  Each of the staff sections will get together for a plenary session, a luncheon, and a reception at the capitol.  In addition, staff sections that have parallel interests will hold joint sessions, where appropriate. The conference offers participants a unique opportunity to learn important work skills, build relationships with colleagues from other states, and advance the effectiveness of America's state legislatures.

The 2012 NLSSA Annual Training Conference will be held in Madison, Wisconsin at the Madison Concourse Hotel. NCSL, in conjunction with the Wisconsin Legislature, has invited a diverse group of faculty from throughout the state and country to speak on a wide range of security, historic preservation, personnel, and administrative topics.  Please join us in the City of Four Lakes for training, tours, workshops, roundtables and networking opportunities.
