Each year, NECDA staff and members convene in Raleigh to learn about economic development policy priorities and amplify our voices to advocate for business-friendly action.
On May 13, 2026, more than 70 members and NCEDA staff joined 44 state representatives and senators for a breakfast program where we presented the state’s challenges and opportunities. Our members then met one-on-one with their legislators to build connections and discuss priorities in their communities.

NCEDA’s legislative committee addresses priorities and plans for outreach. Committee members are also a key link in our grassroots advocacy.
