- Presents to the Steering Committee recommendations for OAK to engage on federal policies and initiatives, including legislation, and thus helps to shape OAK’s federal policy platform

- Organizes meetings on Capitol Hill and with the Administration to advance OAK’s priorities
- Organizes Congressional Briefings to advance OAK’s federal priorities
- Engages full membership where appropriate
