How many people typically serve on a PAC board? Where's the best place to post a job opening? Should you cancel your annual fly-in? Where can one find reliable information on doing business overseas?

These may be some of the questions you've asked in your capacity as a public affairs professional. Often, the best answers come from your industry peers.

"Council Conversation" - a website-based discussion forum - allows Council members to post questions and answers about any topic - from fundraising to grassroots activities to global affairs. Answers may come from others in the public affairs profession, or from Council experts.

The service, open to registered Council members, encourages a helpful exchange about the many issues facing public affairs practitioners today.
