The Pelican Institute's Constitutional Convention Forum

The Pelican Institute for Public Policy will host a Constitutional Convention Forum on Tuesday, August 20, 2019 at the Old State Capitol in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  The forum will kick off with lunch beginning at 11:30 am followed by an afternoon of panel discussions taking a hard look at the principles and ideas that animate a great state constitution.  We'll bring national and state experts together to focus on what the ideal executive, legislative, and judicial branches look like, including the proper balance between state and local governance.   Early bird registration is now open through July 31 at a ticket price of $50/ticket.  General registration will begin August 1 at a cost of $75/ticket.  We have limited seating, so please reserve your spot today!  The ticket price includes lunch, entrance to all panel discussions, and a cocktail reception following the forum.   Additional details regarding the agenda and speakers will be released over the coming weeks.  We hope you'll join us on August 20 to learn more about Louisiana's current constitutional challenges and more about how a new constitution could help improve Louisiana's outlook.
