Government Relations Advisory Committee

A committee designed to raise membership awareness and keep membership informed; to learn all that can be learned about the state and federal legislative process in New England; to become acquainted with members of New England’s education policy-making committees and learn how they operate.

The goals of the committee are: 

  • Develop avenues for dialogue with local policy-making communities and with allied associations having common causes.
  • Establish a New England communication network that can monitor, report and take action on state and federal legislation important to NEACAC and to secure a list of NEACAC members of Congress.
  • Establish clear lines of communication with the National GRAC committee
  • Facilitate discussion related to committee goals and objectives
  • Strive to have one committee member from each state on the GRAC committee
  • Schedule committee meetings during the year.

Please contact the GRAC Committee Chair with any questions or issues you would like to discuss!
