East Haven Lawmaker Albis Attends Young Elected Officials Conference

State Representative James Albis (D-East Haven) attended the 10th annual Young Elected Officials (YEO) National Convening this weekend in Washington D.C.

Rep. Albis was joined by 300 other young elected officials and participated in many trainings, workshops, and lectures held by government experts and influential national figures.

“I am so grateful to have the opportunity to meet with other young legislators from across the country, learn from them, and also highlight all that Connecticut has accomplished this past legislative session. It was an incredibly productive meeting and I look forward to putting all that I have learned to good use, advocating on behalf of East Haven,” said Rep. Albis in a prepared statement.

The YEO Network was founded in 2005 in order to unite elected leaders ages 35 and under. The annual YEO Network National Convening provides YEOs with an opportunity to grow as public servants with access to workshops and trainings designed specifically for leaders in their positions. Members of the YEO Network spend three days sharing policy ideas, connecting with strategic partners, gaining valuable skills and leadership training, and networking with the most innovative progressive leaders in the country.

State Representative James Albis is serving his third term representing the 99th district of East Haven. He serves as Chair of the Environment Committee and as a member of both the Finance and Executive and Legislative Nomination Committees.
