NWA holds one conference and several major legislative meetings annually. All of our conference and legislative events afford members the opportunity to learn and gather information to help improve the effectiveness of their workforce agencies. Education and networking are the two reasons you want to attend NWA's conference and meetings! Just ask other NWA members!

The cornerstone of the NWA annual meetings is the Annual Conference. It is here that NWA members come together to elect new officers, and most importantly the NWA President and the CEO lay out the goals of the association for the next year. The annual Conference and our Legislative meeting have thier own personality and individual focus. Click this link to leran more about the legislative events that NWA conducts around the country.
