Join Our Professional Community

The GovExperts professional community is for individuals working in, supporting, or interested in the public sector at the local, state, and federal levels. We welcome current, former, and future government leaders, officeholders, staff, lobbyists, political consultants, and public policy experts who want to share ideas, collaborate, and engage in civil policy discussions (without trolling and the distraction of other social media platforms).

The GovExperts community includes public and private, invitation-only groups. Our community as a whole and public groups are open to any member and are organized around public policy areas and geographies. Our private (invitation-only) groups may be more narrowly focused on a particular issue or support a coalition of individuals focused on a specific policy objective.
