The Government College Relations Council (GCRC) was founded in Chicago in 1968. It is a professional association that supports working relationships between representatives from accredited post-secondary colleges and universities and federal, state, county, and local governments. An Executive Board and Steering Committee govern the organization and reflect the diversity of the membership. They are made up of both elected and appointed officials from GCRCs general membership.
