NAL Conference,
March 15-18, 2026

In June, 1969, National Affairs and Legislation (NAL) Committee was established as a separate entity from the Conservation Committee to

"bring to the attention of the membership important legislative proposals in Washington which fall within the fields of our endeavor."

​The National Affairs & Legislation Conference, organized by the NAL Committee, is held annually in March in Washington, DC. 300 GCA club members attend and learn about environmental initiatives relating to the GCA’s purpose. All NAL attendees visit their congressional representatives’ offices to advocate for matters of importance to their communities. This is just one example of the GCA’s organizational power.
