The 20th Annual Conference on Policy Analysis will be held October 20,
2004, at the Continuing Education and Conference Center (formerly the
Earle Brown Center) on the University of Minnesota's St. Paul campus.
The program features timely topics that illustrate the importance of
analysis in public policy decisions. Program sessions provide an
opportunity for analysts and policy makers to gain insight into
current trends and changes in the policy-making environment; explore
emerging policy issues; and share ideas with policy analysts from
around Minnesota.

This year's conference keynote sessions include a presentation by
former Governor Wendell Anderson on the evolving role of government
over the last several decades and in years to come, followed by a
response from a panel of policy makers. The second keynote session
features a roundtable discussion by a panel of experts on the issue of
globalization and its implications for Minnesota.

In addition, concurrent sessions are offered on issues such as the
future of transit in the Twin Cities metropolitan area; health care
cost containment; economic development strategies; writing
"successful" policy analysis reports; Minnesota's Homeownership
Initiative; effective youth policy; higher education task force
assessment; and survey research.
