New Legislators are Coming to Town

This week the Naifeh Center for Effective Leadership will host the Newly Elected State Legislators Workshop in cooperation with the Baker Center for Public Policy. More than 50% of the newly elected state senators and representatives of the 108th General Assembly will spend two days in Knoxville.

The main focus of the workshop is "transitioning from campaigning to governing." They will also learn about the economic conditions of the state from Dr. Matt Murray and the state budget process from F&A Commissioner Mark Emkes. Lt. Governor Ramsey and Speaker Harwell will open the session. The president is hosting a dinner to recognize the new delegation and we will be joined by returning legislators, board of trustee members and other special guests.

This is the third biennial session that the Naifeh Center has hosted and we are looking forward to an outstanding two days.
