Council of State Representatives

The work of AASCU's Division of Government Relations and Policy Analysis is greatly informed by the Association's Council of State Representatives , which includes representation from all 50 states and U.S. territories. The Council is comprised of college and university presidents and chancellors, system heads, and state coordinating board executives. The Council advises staff on higher education public policy issues, helps formulate the Association's annual Public Policy Agenda, and assists the staff in carrying out the agenda's legislative priorities through contacts with stakeholders and members, including the Federal government and members of Congress.

   
For information on the Council and its mid-year meeting, contact Emily Parker at (202) 478-4659 or email her at parkere@aascu.org.
