Legislative Staff Coordinating Committee (LSCC)

Overview

The LSCC is made up of the legislative staff members elected to the NCSL Executive Committee, the staff chair and staff vice chairs of the NCSL Standing Committees, two officers of each of the ten staff sections, and four discretionary appointees of the Staff Chair. 

The purposes of the Legislative Staff Coordinating Committee (LSCC) are to oversee the legislative staff division of NCSL, to coordinate the work of the ten staff sections of NCSL, to promote professional development of legislative staff, and to review and evaluate NCSL services to legislative staff.   LSCC serves in an advisory capacity to the NCSL Executive Committee.

The LSCC meets four times per year in conjunction with the NCSL Executive Committee.  The NCSL staff chair serves as chair of the LSCC.  At the beginning of the conference year members of the LSCC are assigned to one of several task forces to work on specific projects.  Each LSCC meeting includes meetings of the task forces and at least one meeting of the entire LSCC.  During the LSCC meeting there are reports from the LSCC task forces, the subcommittees of the NCSL Executive Committee, the chair of the NCSL Standing Committees, the NCSL Executive Director and other special committees that are created during the year.  A report describing the LSCC activities is made to the NCSL Executive Committee and a summary of its meeting is posted on the NCSL website.
