The 2014 Budget Breakfast is just a few days away. Join us on January 22 as we discuss the governor’s proposed budget and how we can educate and activate state legislators on how any proposed cuts could impact important programs in the Mountain State.
Tickets are $20 and include a breakfast buffet. Registration opens at 7:30AM and the Budget Briefing takes place from 8:00AM – 9:00AM.
Sponsorships are still available at the $250 level (includes 2 tickets), the $500 level (includes 4 tickets) and the $1,000 level (reserves a table of 8). Sponsorship includes being mentioned in conference materials.
