The “Bipartisan Program for Newly Elected Members of Congress” is held by the IOP every two years. This year, the American Enterprise Institute, the Brookings Institution, and the Center for Strategic and International Studies will join the conference.
According to an IOP blog, this year’s program will include topics on “‘The Domestic Economy: The Middle-Class Crunch,’ ‘America’s Role in the World,’ ‘Balancing Family and Work Life on Capitol Hill’ as well as sessions on working with the White House, the federal budget, the global economy, terrorism and extremism, communications and navigating the legislative process.”
