We welcome current and former 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). Community and Groups. 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.
