With so many state leaders and staff in town for the National Governors Association conference, it felt especially timely to shine a light on the work happening inside governors’ Washington offices. Thank you to Ben Ayres, Rose Minor and Josh Resnik for an engaging and insightful conversation on the role of a Governor’s D.C. Office Director. From navigating federal priorities to coordinating interstate engagement and serving as a key bridge back to the state, the discussion offered a candid look at the strategy and relationships behind the scenes, including how they've worked with WASRG members in the room.
We are grateful to our annual Platinum Sponsors -- FiscalNote, State and Federal Communications, Serlin Haley, LLP, Leonine FOCUS, Page, and Quorum -- and to everyone who joined us at VUE to be part of the conversation.
