NextGen State Capacity Happy Hour
Join us for a relaxed evening bringing together early- and mid-career professionals working across the government effectiveness ecosystem.
We keep hearing the same thing: there aren't enough low-key spaces for non-senior congressional, think tank and advocacy organization staff to connect, compare notes, and build the kind of relationships that make this work better over time. This is our attempt to change that.
Come grab a drink, meet people doing adjacent work, and leave with new connections.
When: Wednesday, August 19 · 5:30–7:30 PM
Where: Art DC Arlo Rooftop
Hosts: Amanda Patarino (Niskanen Center), Jackson Gode (Inclusive Abundance), Ross Apter (Partnership for Public Service), and Taylor Swift (Recoding America)
Light bites and drinks provided.
Space is limited, so please RSVP below — and feel free to pass this along to colleagues who are working on or interested in state capacity reform!
This event is organized by Inclusive Abundance Initiative and will qualify as a widely attended gathering under congressional ethics rules.
