NCRGEA has a team of four registered, contracted lobbyists who are always represented at the General Assembly.  When in session, we attend House and Senate committees, track bills relevant to our agenda, mission, and strategic goals, and meet with legislators and staff to promote NCRGEA’s agenda.  Cultivating relationships with legislators, legislative staff, “sister” groups and government agencies, including the Office of the State Treasurer, are of utmost importance for the lobbying team.

Our lobbying team is also prepared to speak to support or oppose legislation of positive or negative consequence for NCRGEA members.

Government Relations Updates and Alerts

When the legislature is in session, your NCRGEA staff compiles and shares this information through email updates, this website, social media posts, and calls to action. We keep this information up to date to keep you informed. The goal is to provide you with the most current information so you are able to make an informative decision as to how to approach legislators to show your support or opposition on an upcoming issue.

End-of-Session Summary

At the close of each legislative session, your NCRGEA lobbying team will provide a synopsis of the decisions made during that session. Additionally, our team will analyze trends in pension issues, cost of living adjustments and other fiduciary matters of importance to our association members.

Contact with Local and Legislative Members

Through our website, we provide the tools to help you contact your legislators. By calling, writing letters, or sending emails, contacting your legislators is crucial to our mission and goals at NCRGEA. We provide helpful tips and outlines, as well as sample letters to help you advocate for the issues in which you believe. You are always welcome to contact NCRGEA regarding any thoughts or issues you may have or if you have questions, comments, or concerns.
