Government Affairs

MORPC’s government affairs work is guided by the agency’s Regional Policy Roundtable — a committee that includes representatives from local governments, businesses, non-profits, and other community stakeholders. The roundtable offers guidance on current issues and in the development of a biennial public policy agenda that serves as a framework of our policy positions and assists staff in navigating advocacy efforts.
