Government Relations

The Government Relations department works with policy decision-makers and government officials at the local, state and federal levels to promote the mission of Parkland. They accomplish this in part by maintaining relationships with government organizations and community partners and through public advocacy. They also serve as a conduit for Parkland staff to communicate with state and federal legislative officials.

Legislative Priorities
