From July 15 –18, the city of Atlanta will host state legislators from across the nation for the 36th annual meeting of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). This is the first time the Peach State will serve as host for ALEC’s meeting.

ALEC serves as a nonpartisan association for state lawmakers who share a vision of “limited government, free markets, federalism and individual liberty.”

Each year, over 2,000 state legislators and other interested parties, including groups from the private sector, join together for thoughtful discussions on pressing issues facing our states, ranging from education to healthcare to fiscal policy.

This year, the Host Committee Chairman is Georgia’s very own, Rep. Earl Ehrhart (R-Powder Springs), along with co-chairs Sen. John Wiles (R-Marietta) and Rep. Calvin Hill (R-Canton). Rep. Ehrhart serves Georgia’s General Assembly as the Rules Committee Chairman.

Featured speakers for the event include, but are not limited to:  Hermain Cain, The Honorable Newt Gingrich, Daniel Hannan, Dr. Art Laffer, The Honorable Zell Miller and Stephen Moore.
