The office of Senator Will Brownsberger invites constituent requests to be nominated for participation in the Citizens’ Legislative Seminar (CLS), a free educational program organized by the Senate. The Fall 2024 seminar is Tuesday and Wednesday, October 29 and 30 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day.
Nominees from this office must be residents of Senator Brownsberger’s district and be able to attend both days of the seminar. (Non-constituents should contact their own state senator to request nomination.)
The CLS, offered twice a year, aims to better educate the public on the functions of the Massachusetts State Legislature. The curriculum includes the history of the legislature, the legislative process, the state budget, and a simulated legislative hearing and a simulated Senate Session held in the Senate Chamber where participants use what they have learned to actively experience the legislative process. Presentations are made by Senators and Senate staff.
