POLICY AND GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS
MAYORS CAUCUS
The Policy and Government Affairs team supports the organization by participating in various local, statewide, and national initiatives being carried out by public agencies and non-profit organizations.
Legislative issues for the GNRC area are discussed and prioritized by the Mayors Caucus. The Caucus was formed in 2009 to provide leadership on important issues facing a rapidly changing regional landscape. Transportation, and particularly the pursuit of a modern regional transit system, served as the early catalyst, but in its brief history the Caucus has served as an effective forum for building personal relationships among mayors and has helped local governments support each other on state and federal legislative priorities.
During FY2022, GNRC’s policy team provided support to three strategic regional partners.
CUMBERLAND REGION TOMORROW CRT is dedicated to advocating for quality growth across the area. GNRC provided staffing support to CRT’s board of directors, assisted with community outreach, and helped develop content for the Power of Ten regional summit. TRANSIT ALLIANCE OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE The Transit Alliance works with community officials and regional leaders to build support for funding transit in Middle Tennessee. GNRC assisted the board of directors updating its strategic plan as it looks to position the organization for the future. NASHVILLE AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE GNRC and the Nashville Area Chamber co-produced the 9th annual edition of Nashville Region’s Vital Signs. The report highlights issues impacting Middle Tennessee’s economic well- being and quality of life, serving as a resource for community leaders charged with developing regional solutions.
The Caucus is staffed by GNRC with consulting assistance provided by Stones River Group.
