Our Mission

This program gave state legislative leaders a dynamic exploration of federalism, bringing the Constitution to life through history, law, and real-world policymaking. Participants gained a clearer understanding of where state authority begins and ends, examined landmark Supreme Court cases that continue to shape state–federal relations, and dove into today’s most pressing policy flashpoints. We also discussed the legislative branch’s power at the state level and ways to balance executive overreach. Through interactive workshops, candid discussions with experts, and practical strategy sessions, legislators left better equipped to defend state interests, collaborate effectively across levels of government, and lead with confidence in an increasingly complex federal system.

Join your fellow majority leaders this July 14-17 in Manchester, Vermont. While surrounded by people who walk in your shoes every day, we’ll explore your personal leadership style. Through team-building exercises that will inform how you react under pressure and engaging presenters, you’ll come away with ways to lead your caucus more effectively. Not to mention, we’ll do it all in a picturesque New England town nestled in the Green Mountains of Vermont. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to hone your skills and connect with your peers!
