Government Relations Network

The data is clear: policy action is greater at the state level than at the federal- and every state has its own way of operating. Despite this, many state government relations teams face limited staff and limited budget. The Government Relations Network is designed to help members in this space maximize your impact by creating a space for sharing ideas and challenges, getting solutions and practices, and building a network of peers who love state government relations as much as you do!

Learn More

Join the Government Relations Network and receive:

  • Quarterly newsletter
  • Easy to access library of useful resources
  • Connect with other government affairs professionals across the country
  • Specialized events and announcements, such as free happy hours
