This is one of our short courses that is typically conducted in an even-numbered year, after the First Session of a new Congress and before the congressional elections. This class can also be arranged as a full- or half-day tailored course and conducted on-site at an organization or in an online format. Please contact Kristin Nicholson or gai@georgetown.edu to discuss tailoring Congressional Update for your organization.
This 1-day class is intended to explain and analyze the major events that have occurred in the First Session of a Congress, and examine what is likely to occur as Congress finalizes work in the Second Session and prepares for elections in November.
Topics may include:
Significant legislative accomplishments in the First Session of Congress and the anticipated legislative agenda for the remainder of the Second Session
An update and analysis of issues concerning the federal budget and appropriations process
