Greetings from the Government Relations Committee!The Government Relations Committee informs members of issues of concern both at the state and national level with regards to education and college access initiatives. NACAC provides resources to help members look up legislators and pending legislation, as well as provides templates for contacting national leaders on topics identified as priority issues. The Government Relations Committee of SACAC is developing new state legislative training for all of the member states. For more information on joining this committee or on helping plan a legislative day in your state, contact: Debra Landesberg, College & Secondary Education Consultant Jessica Jaret, Associate Director of College Counseling
