This year we are working to re-invigorate our GAC Planning Session held every December. We plan to expand to a full day of programming and include roundtable discussions on the big issues of 2027, post-Election Day trends, federal issues as well as focusing on our own Government Affairs staff and highlights from their issue areas for the year ahead. We will conclude the day with a networking reception.
