"The Leaders Policy Conference is a tremendous value add to our organization and a reason alone to get engaged with SGAC. There's no conference like it that provides such productive networking opportunities to policy leaders and cutting edge policy discussions. From Tennessee to Arizona, my organization has been able to prove itself a resource to state legislators from conversations sparked at LPC."
