Government Relations leads the efforts in educating our members about public policy, keeping all members informed of issues concerning our educational system, and fostering relationships with our elected leaders. Check out the recent GPACAC Hill Days and some of this committee's other latest activities.

NEW THIS YEAR! 

GPACAC is launching three Special Interest Groups (SIG) for the 2023-2024 school year. Special interest groups are a way for specific and smaller subsets of colleagues to come together to network, collaborate, and share amongst each other. SIG leaders will host virtual meetings on a regular basis.
