The housing crisis didn’t happen overnight, and solving it won’t either. That’s exactly why we’re bringing together the brightest minds working on state-level reform for an evening of frank conversation, sharp research, and the kind of relationship-building that actually drives change.

The workforce is changing faster than most state policy is keeping up. Remote work, the gig economy, new credentialing models, and portable benefits are rewriting the rules, and state legislators are on the front lines of the response. This breakfast is where we get into the weeds on what actually works for workers, employers, and the economies we’re all trying to build.

The rules of the legislature can feel overwhelming for a new member, but understanding parliamentary procedure is one of the most important tools for becoming an effective legislator. Join former New Hampshire Representative Marilinda Garcia for a practical introduction to the rules, motions, and procedures that shape legislative debate and decision-making. This session will help new lawmakers better understand how to navigate the legislative process, participate confidently in debate, and use parliamentary procedure effectively while preserving fairness, order, and institutional integrity.

Stepping into public office also means stepping into the spotlight. This interactive training will give newly elected legislators practical tools to communicate clearly and confidently with the media, constituents, and broader public. Participants will learn strategies for staying on message, responding to tough questions, avoiding common media pitfalls, and effectively shaping the narrative around the issues they care about. The session will combine expert instruction with an opportunity for volunteers to put those skills into practice through interview-style exercises and real-time feedback.
