House Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) released on Tuesday a list of House committees, chairs, and members for the 2023 legislative session, which officially began last week. In a statement, Speaker Moore wrote, “We have a strong group of committee chairs this session, and I am confident that they will continue to propel our state forward and to the top of the pack.” Re-elected Senate President Pro Tempore Sen. Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) shared the Senate’s committee appointments last week, featuring some new leaders in the Education and Education Appropriations Committees. As the NCASA Advocacy Team continues to meet with legislative leaders, NCASA members are encouraged to initiate conversations with their own legislators, who can be located here, and share any relevant information with NCASA.
