EANGUS Legislative Priorities and Issues.
EANGUS conducted our Annual Legislative Workshop virtually on Saturday, 27 February 2021. The Workshop was attended by approximately 80 members and included several special guest speakers and panel discussions, as well as presentation of our annual Legislative Awards. We received a lot of positive feedback from those in attendance and want to make the information presented available to the rest of our members. If you were unable to attend, please review the information below which includes links to the EANGUS YouTube Channel where a video recording of each session can be found. Also included below are the EANGUS Legislative Priorities for the 117th Congress, copies of the three EANGUS White Papers presented this year, slides from the presentations and a link to the EANGUS Legislative Workshop E-Booklet which has all the information presented to our attendees.
Additionally, during the months of March – April 2021, we ask that State Associations participate in our “Muster for Change” event. This is your opportunity to schedule and conduct virtual meetings with your Senators, Representatives, or their staff, to discuss the three EANGUS White Papers, other emerging issues, and any State issues you may have. After reviewing the information below, if you have any questions regarding the White Papers or our Legislative Priorities, please contact the EANGUS Legislative Director Kevin Hollinger at kevin@eangus.org. We also ask that you send him an email message after your congressional meetings to let him know how it went and whether your elected representatives had any questions or need follow-up on our issues.

NGAUS Legislative Priorities and Issues
NGAUS represents its members and the entire National Guard on the issues that directly impact them, their units, their families and their employers. Since its inception, NGAUS has held an annual conference during which members gather and vote on the top legislative priorities for NGAUS. We prioritize and transform our members’ concerns into legislative action. See our legislative resolutions here for fiscal year 2021.
As issues and legislation comes up for consideration on Capitol Hill, we send out Legislative Alerts and direct you to the actions you can take to make your voice heard. Timely engagement is most important to these matters. NGAUS hopes you will back us up when the time comes for us to raise our voices.
