About the Institute

Preparation for the session ahead

The PAAT Institute brings together government affairs professionals for a focused day of practical learning — the rules, the process, the politics, and the tools that will define the 90th Texas Legislative Session.

  1. 01

    Ethics and compliance

    The rules of engagement, common pitfalls, and real-world hypotheticals.

  2. 02

    Parliamentary procedure

    Points of order, amendments, calendars, and the tools that shape legislation.

  3. 03

    Legislative and political outlook

    Post-election dynamics, leadership, and the issues ahead.

  4. 04

    Artificial intelligence in legislative work

    Practical tools for research, analysis, and advocacy — and their risks.

The Program

Four sessions. One practical day.

From ethics and parliamentary procedure to the political outlook and the responsible use of AI, each session is built around what advocates need to know before the gavel falls.
