State and Federal Communications is 31 years old and, I believe, this is our third values statement. We are in the middle of our EOS program—Entrepreneurial Operating System—where we dissect how the company operates. One of our first major assignments is to create our Core Values.

This was not an easy assignment. We had a lot of suggestions and worked it down to what we have now.

1. Clients First—This is #1. We listen to every suggestion made by you to see if we can incorporate updates to our website and compliance system.
2. Commitment to Excellence is very important to us. You subscribe to find out what you can and cannot do. Our work is done because of our real research and not AI.
3. Solutions Oriented means we want to help you with your government relations work and not just hide under the wire. Again, this is done because everyone in our compliance department knows how to do research and obtain correct information.

We will introduce our updated website next month and know you will love it.

a. More Intuitive Search Features – We have redesigned our State and Federal Communications website (www.stateandfed.com) to give you better user experience. The website is more intuitive and user-friendly, and we have also significantly upgraded our search functionality. You will also be able to bookmark specific pages rather than just states and jurisdictions.

b. Upgraded Security – We have invested in upgrading State and Federal Communications security infrastructure to SOC 2 compliant servers to ensure the highest level of protection for our users. This gives you the confidence that we have provided the needed security for you — our customers, partners, and stakeholders – as you navigate our website at www.stateandfed.com.

c. Ease of Use – Tracks recently viewed pages – The State and Federal Communications website is now easier to navigate and use, and we have added a convenient “recently viewed” feature to help quickly return to pages already visited.

d. Tracks Most Current Changes – The State and Federal Communications website is constantly updated to reflect the most current changes, which are available with one click.

e. Increased Speed in Navigation – We have optimized the State and Federal Communications website for faster and more responsive navigation, optimizing the use of your time and making your work more efficient.

Stay tuned. We will be conducting in person training on our site in DC and provide everyone the opportunity to take a tour of our website.

In the meantime, rest well … We have this under control.

Thank you.
