Senator William Coley, incoming NCLGS President, said about the event, "NCLGS was created more than two decades ago for the sole purpose of promoting best practices among U.S. lawmakers. Working with Clarion at ICE and in Brasilia, that core goal is now global. The leadership of NCLGS is committed to fostering an international dialogue, and to sharing our experience and ideas."
