Members?
The purpose of the National Association of
Towns and Townships (NATaT) is to strengthen the effectiveness of
town and township government by educating lawmakers and public
policy officials about how small-town governments operate and by
advocating policies on their behalf in Washington, DC.
Membership in NATaT is determined at the state
level. Your community is a NATaT member if you are affiliated with
any of the Statewide Town / Township Associations.
The NATaT’s valuable membership benefits include:
- Lobbying for Grassroots Governments in
Washington, DC:
Regulations and mandates developed in Washington, DC are often
excessive, costly, and burdensome to smaller communities. NATaT
works to ensure that lawmakers and Federal agencies take into
consideration the resources and capacities of smaller
governments during the development phases of the rules and
legislation. NATaT has been instrumental in getting legislation
passed to ensure that Federal agencies involve grassroots
governments in the regulatory process.
- NATaT’s Weekly Legislative Updates:
Each Monday, NATaT sends a “Week in Review” report congressional
and federal agency action of of interest to NATaT members. Also
included in that email is an outlook of what to expect in
Congress that week and a detailed list of relevant congressional
hearings.
- NATaT’s Email Legislative Alerts:
NATaT’s email legislative alerts keep you informed of
legislative action that requires a timely grassroots response.
- Access to NATaT staff That Can Answer
Your Many Questions: Membership in NATaT affords you access
to a staff that is knowledgeable and experienced on a wide
variety of topics and issues of concern to smaller local
governments.
