President's Welcome

Welcome to the official website of the Congressional Legislative Staff Association (CLSA). Whether you are a member, prospective member, diplomat, or member of Congress, we invite you to take a look at today’s CLSA.

The Congressional Legislative Staff Association is a nonpartisan, professional organization dedicated to providing increased professional opportunities to the legislative staff of the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Representing 535 congressional offices from every state in the Union, CLSA serves as a conduit for panel discussions, briefings, and embassy events with ambassadors and diplomats from nations of vital interest to U.S. foreign policy. Additionally, the Association holds seminars on topics of professional interest for its members and works with charity and community organizations in the greater Washington area.
