An Invitation to the National Conference of State Legislatures

I am happy that I will have an opportunity to meet with the President to talk about housing, crime, gangs and job creation. If you have concerns that you think I should bring to the attention of the President, please reach out to me at the 22nd District Legislative Office.

Dear Assemblymember Green,

NCSL knows that legislative leaders like yourself are extremely busy right now as sessions gather steam in most states. We hope however, you can find a way to make a quick trip to Washington, D.C., on February 16-18 for what we believe is a leaders meeting that you won’t want to miss. We will be speaking with key congressional leaders from both sides of the aisle and have a private meeting with President Obama. This will be a unique opportunity to hear from the President and share your thoughts about issues and concerns in your state. It’s also a great opportunity to learn from and network with other leaders about the issues you are struggling with right now.

The agenda includes a briefing from political analyst Charlie Cook and a session on energy policy with former Shell CEO John Hofmeister. Alison Acosta Fraser, director of Economic Policy Studies for the Heritage Foundation, will speak about the economic outlook, and NCSL’s state fiscal expert, Corina Eckl, will discuss how states continue to deal with the budget crisis.

This meeting is for speakers, speaker pro tems, senate presidents, president pro tems, majority and minority leaders.
