American Legislative Exchange Council to host 45th Annual Meeting in New Orleans

Arlington, Virginia (February 13, 2015)—The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) announced today that New Orleans, Louisiana is the location of the 2018 ALEC Annual Meeting. The meeting brings together state legislators, business leaders, policy experts and citizen organizations to share experiences and ideas and develop research-based model policies focused on limited government, free markets and federalism.

“Our 2018 Annual Meeting in New Orleans will bring together ALEC members from around the country to discuss and expand our understanding of policies dedicated to limited government, free markets and federalism,” said Texas State Representative Phil King, ALEC National Chair.

During the three-day conference, members will participate in training sessions and attend policy workshops and task force meetings. Attendees will also hear from several keynote speakers.

“Our annual meeting provides state legislators with an invaluable opportunity to work alongside their counterparts from around the country,” said ALEC CEO Lisa B. Nelson. “State legislators can discuss and seek solutions to the issues challenging their states and learn how to apply limited government, free markets and federalism principles to issues back home.”

The American Legislative Exchange Council is a 501(c)(3) educational organization that provides nonpartisan research, study and analysis. ALEC facilitates interaction between public and private sector leaders, think tanks and citizen groups through meetings and model policy development.
