#weLIVEhere

Presented annually, hear from the movers and shakers inside the Legislature about the key issues affecting Nebraska's public schools. The Governor’s Office, Speaker, key Committee Chairs and a number of other Senators are invited to share their respective views throughout the morning. See what key bills are in play and get a first hand look at anything that will have an impact on public education in Nebraska during this year’s legislative session.

Registration is now open for the
2021 Virtual Legislative Issues Conference  
Monday, February 1  |  9:00 AM to 1:00 PM 

With limitations to the number of people allowed in conference rooms, as well as the Senators themselves scaling back their in-person speaking engagements this Session, this year’s Legislative Issues Conference will be a live & interactive Zoom filled with information presented by Legislative Leaders, key Committee Chairs, and NASB Leadership.  Learn about the Legislature's priorities within Education and how NASB is engaging, as well as how NASB is supporting you to tell your school spending story through the #weLIVEhere campaign.   School spending continues to be a hot topic and we'll need those who live in, and represent their communities to be ready to tell their unique, individual story.  

Be sure to register by Thursday, January 28th
