Sep. 12 - 13, 2011 | Newseum | Washington, D.C.

“[I]t’s not a question of ‘big’ government versus ‘small’ government. The question is how do you create new government for a new era?”

The GOVERNING Summit on the Cost of Government 2011 is an invitation-only gathering of public officials to tackle the pressing issues of the demands for service, the realities of revenues, and to explore a path forward.

This leadership summit will bring together senior policy leaders, influential thinkers and practitioners to share insights and formulate strategies about how to successfully meet the challenges facing state and local governments today.

Speakers include:

Richard Ravitch, Former Lieutenant Governor, New York
David Crane, Stanford University lecturer, former aide to Gov. Schwarzenegger, former board member of the California State Teachers Retirement System
Chris Hoene, Director, Center for Research & Innovation, National League of Cities
