CPRC maintains regular, active engagement with our state and federal legislative offices and with key government agencies to advance the interests of our organization and our member communities. We advocate in two main ways: For CPRC itself, to support our programs, operations, and funding, and for our local governments, to support federal policy that advances the needs of our region. We do this work in partnership with our government affairs firm, Strategics Consulting. Together, we develop a formal federal action plan each year. This plan clearly states our policy and funding priorities, and targets areas where there is a realistic opportunity to secure funding or policy support.
This year’s Federal Action Plan builds on last year’s foundation that was adopted by the Board of Delegates and goes further by clearly defining our policy priorities.
