These meetings provide an important opportunity to educate policymakers about NACCED's federal legislative priorities, share local success stories, and highlight the challenges and opportunities facing communities across the country. Through direct engagement with congressional offices, members will help strengthen NACCED's voice in Washington and advocate for policies and federal investments that support local communities, economic growth, and affordable housing.
