APGA invites all elected and appointed officials from public natural gas communities to join the APGA Public Gas Policy Council (PGPC) and attend the PGPC Conference in Washington, D.C. on September 7-8, 2016, to meet with their congressional delegation.
Locally elected and appointed public officials have a strong, persuasive, and authoritative voice in Washington, D.C., with their elected representatives in both the House of Representatives and Senate. Having a core group of elected officials carry the public natural gas message to Congress significantly strengthens APGA’s advocacy efforts.
