Initiatives: Next Gen
With start-up funding from the Colombe Foundation, NSI works with a wide range of expert and advocacy group partners to build a “hub” for progressive, pragmatic messaging, rapid response, education and legislative support. The Next Generation Congress Initiative aims to provide staff with a one-stop shop for reference to experts on any given issue. Based around Hill staff’s identification of their own greatest needs and priorities, combined with outside experts’ awareness of both local and international dynamics, this initiative builds a more dependable flow of information and policy and helps staff and members grow into more effective spokespeople, advocates and policy leaders.
