Plenty of Opportunities to Be Seen This Summer

Preparing for the upcoming summer season of state and local government officials group meetings means more than packing a suitcase and breaking out your most comfortable shoes. (I did buy an update on my black and white sneakers for the summer.) For State and Federal Communications — and for me personally — participation with the “groups” has long been a priority. It is a critical part of the government relations ecosystem and one which delivers positive dividends.

We recently made a quick inventory of our collective summer schedules and discovered our team will participate in at least 15 meetings between now and mid-August. That averages out to 1.5 meetings per week. And to be sure, we intend to take advantage of the educational programming, networking opportunities, and client engagement these gatherings provide.

Beyond simply attending, we also believe strongly in supporting these organizations through sponsorships and other forms of engagement. Sponsorships not only help make quality programming and meaningful get togethers possible, but also reflect a commitment to being an active, invested participant in the broader government relations community.

It is understood we are excited to kick off another busy conference season and look forward to reconnecting with friends, clients, and colleagues along the way. Whether it is at the airport, in a hotel lobby, walking through a convention hall, or catching up between sessions, we always value the conversations and relationships which make these meetings worthwhile. As our paths cross this summer, I hope you will take a moment to stop and say hello.

We can talk about the status of my suitcases in the future!!
