BILLD Class
The
Bowhay Institute for Legislative Leadership Development
(BILLD) is the only leadership training program designed exclusively for
Midwestern legislators.
The
purpose of BILLD is to help newer legislators develop the skills
necessary to become effective leaders, informed decision-makers, and
astute policy analysts.
The
program offers a unique opportunity for lawmakers to improve their
leadership skills and explore the issues of the day with nationally
renowned scholars, professional development experts, and legislative
leaders and colleagues from across the region.
In addition to
leadership training, such as conflict resolution and negotiation,
BILLD provides policy seminars on issues such as education,
corrections, land use, economic development and welfare, as well as
professional seminars on media relations and priority management.
The BILLD program is
conducted by CSG's Midwestern Office, in cooperation with
The
Robert M. La Follette School of Public Affairs at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison. The
program takes place each summer on the University’s campus
in Madison.
Each year, 36 lawmakers from the 11 member states of the
Midwestern Legislative Conference and its affiliate member, the
provinces of Manitoba, Ontario and Saskatchewan, are awarded fellowships on a
competitive, nonpartisan basis by a
Steering
Committee of their peers.
