In Episode 15 of the “NCHER in 30” podcast, the NCHER staff provides a preview of the second session of the 116th Congress and updates on several advocacy activities of importance to the membership that occurred since the last monthly call in mid-December. In particular, James and Shelly discuss what both House and Senate members are currently working on as they return to legislative business and what to expect from Congress, the Trump Administration, and state policymakers over the next few months.  This month’s podcast is essential listening, especially for those members attending the NCHER Legislative and Leadership Conference next month.
