The Western Legislative Academy (WLA) Class of 2021 convened December 7-10 in Colorado Springs, where 33 members completed three and a half days of intensive skill building for state legislators.
Hosted at the El Pomar Foundation’s historic Penrose House, class members engaged with WLA faculty and one other to become more effective leaders, develop insight into the impact of personality styles, and employ strategies that support consensus building and negotiation, among other goals.
Wyoming Representative Mike Yin was selected by his peers as this year’s WLA Class President. As class president, he will have an opportunity to facilitate a training session during the annual meeting in Boise, serve on the CSG West Executive Committee, and will return to Colorado Springs to welcome next year’s WLA class.
Stay tuned for a full recap of this year’s WLA in the first Regional Roundup issue of January 2022.
Congratulations, Class of 2021!
