From Dean Dan - September 13, 2019

Yesterday we launched our new Law and Leadership Program under the direction of Distinguished Fellow Governor Brian Sandoval, one of the most successful governors in Nevada history. It was an extraordinary day of learning from Nevada's leaders and past chief executives of fellow western states, and leading members of the state and federal bench. Congratulations to Senator Nicole Cannizzaro, UNLV Boyd alumna and the first female Senate Majority Leader in Nevada history, who received the inaugural Governor Brian Sandoval Award for Public Service. My sincere appreciation to Governor Steve Sisolak who provided terrific closing remarks.

Learn more about the several issues discussed throughout the day in this Las Vegas Review-Journal article, this story from The Nevada Independent and a segment on KLAS-TV (ch. 8).
