SGR Quarterly Newsletter Launches
As we continue to expand our offerings, we are pleased to share the inaugural State Government Relations Network newsletter! This quarterly roundup will highlight happenings in the Public Affairs SGR community. We are sending this first newsletter to all our state government relations members, but future newsletters will only go to the members of the SGR Network. It’s free and easy to sign up – so join today!
The Public Affairs Community Responds to COVID-19
As the COVID-19 crisis continues to unfold, government affairs teams have found creative and meaningful ways to advocate for their industries and bring value to their stakeholders. Read State Lobbying in a Time of COVID-19 for tips and examples from members who are keeping their advocacy wheels moving during social distancing.
The Public Affairs Council is continuing to support its members during the pandemic. We’ve created a COVID-19 information hub that contains resources, articles, webinar recordings and upcoming events. We continue to develop free webinars for members and add COVID-19 components to our workshops. You can access our entire library of past free member webinars here.
We also have a friends and family program, which is designed to extend benefits to members of our Council family that are between public affairs jobs. Network members who find themselves in this position are welcome to contact us through email or LinkedIn to take advantage of this offer.
Continue to Advance Your Career
Utilize your Public Affairs Council membership to support your career in these uncertain times.
We have tools to help you build skills and more, including our jobs board which is updated regularly with the latest openings in the field. Watch this webinar recording (free for members), “Career Development and Leveraging Your Community During COVID-19” for advice on resumes, networking and more.
With most of our workshops and all of our webinars now offered virtually, beginning your certification is a great way to develop your resume and expertise during social distancing and beyond. Best of all, we’re adding a new track to the certification program for government relations pros. Keep an eye out for announcements coming soon!
Call for Resources - Win $50 Visa Gift Card
Did you know? One benefit we offer our members is a resource library, where we gather best practices and examples from across industries. We are looking to build this library even more. We can leave your company name on a document for credit, or we can blind the example for anonymity. If you have a strong internal or external piece, please send it to [email protected]. Specifically, we are looking for:
- Organizational charts
- COVID-19 resource documents
- Template interview or contracts with consultant lobbyists
- Virtual meetings with state legislators
- SGR advocacy toolkits
- KPIs Used to show the value of SGR work
- Or any resource you feel exemplifies a best practice!
If you send a resource, you will not only be helping other members of the SGR community, but you will be entered to win a $50 Visa Gift Card.
