Each year CSG-WEST brings together a distinguished national faculty to offer the West’s premier training experience for Western state legislators in their first four years of service. The goals of the Western Legislative Academy (WLA) are to help newer legislators become more effective and to build stronger state legislative institutions. To that end a faculty of outstanding academics, corporate, military and public trainers work with a small class of lawmakers who come from each of our 13 Western states. Members of the Academy are selected on the basis of their dedication to public service, desire to improve personal legislative effectiveness and commitment to the institution of the legislature. An overwhelming majority of WLA graduates go on to leadership positions from caucuses and committees to chamber leadership offices. Five of our 373 WLA alumni are now serving in the U.S. Congress.
