In conjunction with the Economic Analysis and Research Network (EARN), Progressive States Network hosted its first annual Legislative Leadership Retreat at the 2008 EARN Conference. The Retreat was held at Bally's Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada from December 8th through 10th.
Limited to a select group of 50 progressive state legislators, the Legislative Leadership Retreat was organized to give forward-thinking state lawmakers the opportunity to meet and form lasting bonds with their peers and gain important insights, lessons, and best practices to guide their work back home.
To prepare and equip lawmakers, PSN organized issue-specific workshops led by our policy staff to provide participating legislators with the opportunity to delve deeper into issues than they could at a typical conference. Sessions were structured to balance expert presentations with peer-based learning and discussions, and focused on some of the most critical issues facing states across the country.
We are making video recordings of all PSN-led workshops available upon request. Please fill out the request form below and we will process your request as soon as possible.
