State Government Relations
Our team serves as the primary liaison between ǧÃŬAV and government officials. We work to:
- foster an understanding of the role ǧÃŬAV plays within the University System, the state, and our local communities;
- monitor and advocate for or against legislative and fiscal policies that have an impact on ǧÃŬAV and its stakeholders;
- develop partnerships through initiatives from both the university and public sectors;
- facilitate and assist preparation for testimonies and meetings from members of the ǧÃŬAV community to and with governmental bodies.
We want to make your interaction as productive as possible and ensure compliance with state lobbying disclosure rules.
