The Board of Visitors Government Relations Committee responds to the need for ongoing communication with federal, state and local leaders. Members address key University issues as they are affected by public policy. The committee builds on the strong relationships many board members already have with local, state and federal decision makers. This group also works to foster new relationships. Members are contacted when Carolina needs assistance with legislative issues, and most importantly, members educate lawmakers to enable them to thoughtfully consider Carolina’s education, research and public service roles and goals. The committee works with other University constituents and supporters to advance higher education and research causes. The committee works closely with the University’s Government Relations office and with University representatives in each of the subcommittee areas to help BOV members stay informed about these government relations topics.
