Public Affairs Committee

The Public Affairs Committee makes policy recommendations to the Board of Directors on legislative and regulatory issues and suggests specific legislation the association should have introduced in both the General Assembly and the U.S. Congress.

The committee coordinates the Contact Banker Program; participates as hosts at the annual Legislative Reception held in honor of the General Assembly; and attends the annual Washington Legislative Visit. Members of the committee also serve on the BankPAC teams for their respective GBA groups.

The GBA chairman-elect automatically chairs the committee.
