Looking Ahead Together: Key Takeaways from NALEO’s Federal Policy Virtual Series

Dear Colleague,

Throughout the year, we have hosted a series of virtual convenings - the NALEO Federal Policy Virtual Series - focused on federal policy developments on key issues, including massive federal cuts to programs like Medicaid and SNAP and their impact at the state and local levels.

NALEO members who participated in the Federal Policy Virtual Series walked away with timely, practical insights, including:

• A clear overview of how Medicaid and SNAP policies are evolving

• An understanding of the budget pressures created by recent federal shifts

• What to anticipate as we move toward 2026

• Practical policy levers to help protect access to healthcare and nutrition in local communities

• How these changes could impact elected officials' jurisdiction - and the options that remain available

NALEO membership provides access to conversations like these, equipping leaders with the information and tools needed to navigate complex federal policy changes. We encourage you to sign up for NALEO Membership today for exclusive opportunities to hear from experts and leaders at the federal level on key policy developments throughout 2026 and beyond.

Thank you for your continued leadership and commitment to the health and well-being of your communities!
