To
the
Governor's Office
Each
of the six Chief Executive Officers, not
surprisingly, is anxious to hear from the people who put
them in office or send them packing. All want to hear from out-of-staters as well, especially
on business, development and tourism issues.
When
writing or calling a governor's office, there are a few
things to keep in mind.
Regardless
of the message's content (high praise to "get a
real job") communications should be brief, concise
and original. These
people are busy.
Most
are not interested in receiving forwarded messages or
attachments, unless requested. Don't send a press
release or mass mailings. Unless they are truly
newsworthy, they'll end up in round file.
Be
patient. Give your communication time to work its way
from the Governor's office to the state's offices and agencies.
Sooner
or later, you should get a reply from a real
person.
The
governors know
that an ignored letter, phone call or email-even from
Fargo-can come
back to haunt them.
All
New England's Governors are members of the National
Governors Association in Washington, D.C. An
interesting site where state leaders talk shop.
