The Regional Policy Roundtable directs the public policy and advocacy work of MORPC. The committee includes representatives from local governments, businesses and non-profits who offer guidance on current issues and create a biennial public policy agenda that serves as a framework of our policy positions.
Through the efforts of the Regional Policy Roundtable, we can better represent the needs and interests of Central Ohio communities to elected and appointed officials at all levels of government. All meetings are open to the public.
More information on MORPC’s policy advocacy is available on our Government Affairs page.
