Community College
National Legislative Summit
February | 6 - 9
Summit Overview
The National Legislative Summit is the premier community college advocacy event in Washington, DC, bringing together more than 1,000 community college leaders. The event shines a spotlight on the importance of our nation’s community colleges for Congress and the Administration.
The National Legislative Summit is designed to inform and educate community college leaders on federal policy issues that impact postsecondary institutions and students. National Legislative Summit participants will hear from members of U.S. Congress, leading political analysts, and other high-profile speakers about the current climate in D.C., recent elections, and legislative issues impacting community colleges.
Participants also have the opportunity to network with fellow community college leaders and meet with their U.S. representatives in Congress to advocate for their support for community colleges and their students.
Featured speaker
Major Garrett
FOR 30 YEARS, MAJOR GARRETT has reported from the front lines of the nation’s pressing issues, doggedly chasing and breaking news stories. He has covered Congress for two major magazines and served as White House correspondent for three television networks. He is now the Chief Washington Correspondent for CBS News, and was the network’s chief political reporter covering the 2016 Republican race for the White House. In 2020 he was one of the first national correspondents to focus on voting procedures, voting integrity, and voter turnout. A truly non-partisan reporter, Major is available to speak and moderate panels on the state of politics today, the inner workings of Congress, and the role of the media. His humorous, direct, and dynamic speeches call upon personal anecdotes from his time on the Hill, wellbuilt relationships with top political players, as well as tales from the presidential campaigns he’s crisscrossed the country covering. He has worked for the White House teams of both CNN and Fox News and has worked with other outlets including U.S. News and World Report, The Washington Times, The Weekly Standard, and Mother Jones .
WHAT PEOPLE Say About NLS
Great way to get educated on federal policy issues and to meet with our congressional delegation on priorities of community colleges.
Amazing - There were so many great learning takeaways. The opportunity was fantastic and I learned an incredible amount. The personal development was one of the greatest experiences I have had.
Great event, dynamic times in the industry, so good to get close to the decision makers.
