National Employer Council

The National Employer Council, based in Washington, DC, has been a pivotal organization for over 50 years, focusing on coastal research, collaboration, and decision-making. It serves as the collective voice for the nation's coastal states and territories, addressing federal legislative, administrative, and policy issues related to coastal, Great Lakes, and ocean management.
