 27th BIENNIAL INSTITUTE
Where legislators learn, network, and explore
issues critical to governing Georgia
December 12-14, 2010
Georgia Center for Continuing Education, Athens
New and veteran legislators count on the Biennial Institute to provide information and training that will help them make better-informed decisions for Georgia. A recognized event on the state's political calendar since 1958, the Biennial provides legislators with valuable time for learning, networking, and exploring state issues prior to the upcoming session of the General Assembly.
The offices of the Lieutenant Governor and Speaker of the House cosponsor the Biennial Institute for Georgia Legislators, with the Carl Vinson Institute of Government organizing and assembling the resources and expertise needed to carry out the agenda. Sessions conducted by Vinson Institute faculty, veteran lawmakers and staff, agency administrators, and subject experts lead legislators through a wide variety of current topics. The Biennial concludes with remarks by the governor outlining his goals for the next session. Noted legislative scholar Alan Rosenthal has identified the Biennial as a national model of legislative training. |
