Legislative Update
NAWDP is a member of the Campaign to Invest in America’s Workforce (CIAW).
In late May 2017, the National Governors Association asked CIAW member organizations to share with their stakeholders, a copy of the NGA letter sent to the U.S. Senate Appropriations Subcomittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies.
The letter, dated May 25, urged the Senate to prioritize funding for federal education and workforce programs in the budget and appropriations for fiscal year 2018.

The Legislative Update section below will be relaunched in the fall of 2017, following congressional summer recess.
