The purpose of <br />the package is to develop a consensus list of federal issues affecting North Carolina counties <br />that may be addressed at the federal level during the next two calendar years. North Carolina <br />counties have been asked to submit proposed federal issues for consideration for inclusion in <br />the NCACC’s Agenda by the November 16, 2018 submittal deadline. <br /> <br />The NCACC Board of Directors will meet in December to review all items submitted and <br />approve a package of federal legislative issues. The package of federal issues approved by the <br />Board of Directors will then go before the voting body at the NCACC Legislative Goals <br />Conference in Raleigh to be held January 10-11, 2019. NCACC’s federal goal priorities will <br />subsequently be presented during the National Association of Counties (NACo) Legislative <br />Conference to be held March 2-6, 2019 in Washington, D.C. <br /> <br />1
