Overview
NRHA's Government Affairs Committee (GAC) works with the Government Affairs staff to develop the association's legislative agenda. The committee develops and implents strategies to ensure that the association's public policies and government affairs activities are fully addressed and communicated. The GAC includes members from each of NRHA's constituency groups, as well as at-large members, all of whom serve up to three two-year terms.
Please contact our Government Affairs Office (dc@nrharural.org or 202-639-0550) with any questions.
