Legislative Leadership Academy Agenda
The bi-annual Legislative Leadership Academy is designed to assist elected legislators in developing important relationships with their counterparts across the border. Through a series of hands-on workshops, you will gain a better understanding of the practical differences between the state and provincial political systems. The academy also features a tour of the beautiful Northwest Territories Legislative Assembly building, where there are no political parties and the government functions by consensus. 

This event begins on the morning of Sunday, November 15, so please plan to arrive in Yellowknife by Saturday, November 14. 
The Legislative Leadership Academy will feature in-depth sessions on:
  • Structural differences in U.S. and Canadian governmental systems
  • Roundtable discussion on campaign, election and leadership processes in states and territories
  • Discussion on provicial, territorial, state and federal relations
  • "View from the Speaker's Chair," a comparative look at the role of the Speaker of the House and the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly
  • How to build on PNWER's past successes for future collaboration (private sector delegates welcome)
