Submit Proposed Changes to NARFE’s Advocacy Positions for the 118th Congress
While we’re still working with the current Congress, NARFE must also be ready to engage the next one. To do so, NARFE needs to adopt advocacy positions for the 118th Congress, which convenes January 3, 2023. NARFE’s advocacy positions detail NARFE’s specific policy stances, and they direct NARFE’s leadership and staff regarding whether to support a position—or not—when actions are taken by Congress or the administration.
An advocacy committee, appointed by NARFE’s National President, will consider proposed changes to NARFE’s advocacy positions and recommend a final product for adoption by the NARFE National Executive Board.
If you’d like the advocacy committee to consider certain proposals, submit them through your federation board or chapter, or as an individual member. There are several ways to do so: 1. Submit a proposal from your chapter or federation board via the webform at www.narfe. org/advocacy-positions or via hard-copy forms (available upon request). You must certify support via a majority vote of those present and voting. Chapters that desire federation endorsement should also submit proposed changes to their federation by July 8. 2. Submit a proposal as an individual via the webform at www.narfe.org/advocacypositions or via hard copy forms (available upon request) and gain support of at least 10 other NARFE members via recommendations on FedHub.
Proposals will be posted on a designated FedHub thread for comments and recommendations. You may request a hard-copy form for your chapter, federation board or as an individual by calling NARFE’s advocacy department at 1-800- 456-8410, option 3, or via email by sending a message to advocacy@narfe. org.
The deadline for submissions is July 15.
