Intergovernmental and Legislative Affairs
The Mecklenburg County Intergovernmental and Legislative Affairs Program manages the federal and regional legislative affairs for Mecklenburg County. This includes the legislative agenda advocacy and stakeholder engagement.
Mecklenburg County Legislative Agenda
The Board of County Commissioners approves the legislative guiding principles and agenda as recommended by the Intergovernmental Affairs Committee. The approved agendas are shared with state and federal elected officials. Learn about Mecklenburg's legislative delegation.
State and Federal Lobbying
In addition to the County’s legislative agenda, the County works closely with the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) and the National Association of Counties (NACo) on statewide and national policy issues. Commissioners engage in advocacy and policy related activities sponsored by both organizations including the NCACC Assembly Day advocacy events at the North Carolina Legislature and the NACo Legislative Conference in Washington, DC.
