Public Policy Meetings

The NCC believes that an integral part of its success lies in the knowledge of and participation in various state and national public policy meetings that occur throughout the calendar year. It is at these meetings where state lawmakers often interact with their peers to discuss emerging issues and hot topics of interest, and also attend educational seminars. Lawmakers also utilize these meeting opportunities to develop a framework for public policy and model legislation. The NCC and its members work very hard to develop and maintain strong relationships with these public policy groups through involvement in task forces, regional and national issues forums, and other related activities hosted by these national and state policy and political organizations.

Below is an extensive listing of public policy meetings the NCC and/or its Corporate Members may be involved with during 2007. This listing is updated on a regular basis.
