about the meeting
You’ll spend the day with electeds who’ve actually done hard things: cut permitting timelines, built housing, and taken the political risk you’re weighing right now.
Our inaugural Member Meeting is built around real cases, not theory. You’ll leave with language you can use back home, tactics from peers who’ve already run the play, and a working list of people you know to call the next time you hit a wall.
This is the start of the network you’ll wish you’d had a year ago.
