Over 250 Attend 2024 Washington Leaders’ Conference
Over 250 New England Council members from throughout the region gathered in Washington, DC, on May 15 & 16 for The New England Council’s 2024 Washington Leaders’ Conference. The conference kicked off on Wednesday, May 15, with a Welcome Luncheon at the historic Willard Intercontinental Hotel, where guests heard from a panel of leading political journalists who discussed the current political climate and upcoming Presidential, Senate, and House elections. Following the luncheon, members had the opportunity to participate in a variety of policy committee meetings with Congressional staff. The day ended with a Capitol Hill Reception attended by many members of the region’s Congressional delegation and their staffs. Day two featured a Congressional Breakfast where members heard from six members of Congress, followed by additional committee meetings with key federal agency officials.
