April 29-May 2
Celebrate spring in New Orleans at the Governmental Research Association’s annual policy conference! Topics on tap include:
- The New Orleans charter school experience
- Strategies to address urban blight
- States’ responses to the Affordable Care Act
- Economic development incentives and more.
Join GRA policy wonks from across the U.S. for engaging panels and lively discussion. Sandwiched between the two weekends of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, the conference extends from April 29-May 2 and is hosted by the Bureau of Governmental Research and the Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana.
The New Orleans Jazz festival is second only to Mardi Gras on New Orleans’ lively events calendar. So come early or stay late to enjoy one of the finest music festivals in America. (For more information, see www.nojazzfest.com.)
