The National Association of State Treasurers Legislative Conference is one of the most important policy meetings of the year. This conference provides a forum for state treasurers and NAST members to meet with administration, congressional, and regulatory officials to discuss the issues that significantly affect the states’ fiscal conditions. Conference participants will also get an insider’s view of the key federal issues to be debated in 2008.

 

The 2008 NAST Legislative Conference will focus on the major federal issues affecting state treasuries. Discussions will cover broad economic policy issues, including the federal response to recent credit market disruptions, proposed changes to the regulatory regime governing the municipal and corporate marketplace, tax policies that encourage Americans to save for college, and opportunities for the states and the federal government to work in partnership, whether to return unclaimed property to its rightful owner or to improve Americans’ financial literacy.

 

The conference is open to all government members of NAST and affiliate organizations, as well as the NAST Corporate Affiliate members in good standing. Join NAST in the nation’s capital as state and federal officials engage in open discussions about the fiscal policy issues that will influence the financial well-being of our country’s citizens.
