Legislative, Governmental Affairs, and Policy LGAP Composition

The LGAP will be composed of a network of NCPA members. The network will include three integrated teams: (1) Quick Action Team, (2) Content Experts and NCPA Member Advocates, and (3) Grassroots Advocates.

Quick Action Team (QAT)

The Quick Action Team serves as the transmission belt for all legislative, legal and policy-driven activity. It will work closely with the NCPA lobbyists, advises the NCPA Board of Directors (BOD), and provides valuable input by helping to articulate priorities and scrutinizing proposed advocacy positions and actions.
