The National Association of Regional Councils (NARC) annual Membership Week will begin November 14 through November 18.
This week will be all about you, our members, because without your support and leadership, NARC would not be able to do the work we do: bringing regional councils across the country together and advocating for regional solutions in Washington.
We will be highlighting some of the key benefits that come along with being a part of our organization.
