the Curtain in Juneau
Ralph Samuels
Vice President of Government and Community Relations for Holland America and Princess
Join us for an inside look at the realities of the legislative process in Juneau. Understanding its complexities, constraints, and common pitfalls is essential for anyone seeking to make a meaningful impact in public policy. With firsthand insight into how decisions are shaped, negotiated, and sometimes stalled, this presentation explores not only how the system works, but how to work within it effectively. Attendees will gain practical strategies for navigating challenges, avoiding discouragement, and engaging productively with lawmakers and stakeholders. The more you understand the legislative process, the more influential and effective your interactions will be.
