On June 22-24, more than one hundred state leaders, from all three branches of government, met in Bismarck, North Dakota for the first-ever Interbranch Summit of the States. This groundbreaking meeting focused on bridging the communication gaps that exist among various branches and agencies of state government, and participants identified many opportunities and strategies to improve interbranch cooperation and communication. Soon, we will post a video recording of the entire meeting, but in the meantime, this recording includes a summary of the meeting and highlights from the sessions. Check back soon for more information from this summit!
