State and Local Advisory Council
The State and Local Government Advisory Council (SLAC) is an advisory body whose purpose is to provide a forum for state and local government officials not represented on the Governing Board. SLAC provides them the ability to express their ideas and concerns and have a formal process to bring those concerns to the Governing Board.
The committee is comprised of representatives from each member state as well as the local governmental units and those states that are not members of the Governing Board.
SLAC has a chair and vice chair appointed by the President and an elected steering committee.
SLAC meets in person four times a year and by teleconference as needed throughout the year. Workgroups are typically formed to research specific issues and will meet by teleconference as needed.

- Reviewing states who petition for membership to determine their compliance
