Programs and Activities
LUNCHEONS
WASRG’s signature luncheons provide an outstanding forum where members and guests convene to exchange ideas, discuss issues and share news from the states. Guest speakers -- primarily policymakers or public officials with a connection to the states -- give their perspective on topical and political issues of interest to our members.
SOCIAL EVENTS
WASRG’s popular social events – including happy hours, the popular annual reception at the NCSL Annual Summit and an annual holiday party – provide a valuable networking forum for members and guests.

WASRG is a leader in virtual programming, having hosted over 60 virtual events since 2020.
Our "Inside the Dome" series invites in-state contract lobbyists to share intel on legislative sessions, elections and political dynamics with WASRG members. These events are exclusive and FREE to members.
