This year’s Gallagher Dialogues will examine evidence-based key habits of highly effective lawmakers, including Nevada-specific insights to support skilled lawmaking, strong institutions, and systems to tackle our biggest policy challenges.

The Gallagher Dialogues began in 2023 in honor of late co-founder Tom Gallagher. Tom was passionate about promoting democracy, bipartisanship, and the exchange of ideas. In that spirit, this annual event gathers engaged Nevada leaders and community members for an evening of learning, connection, and discourse.
