We field over 1,500 specific requests for information each year through phone calls, e-mail and faxes. Members may ask about best practices for crisis communication, or what the laws are for political action committees, or which public affairs consultant to hire in the state of Minnesota. We have a very customer-focused staff that works hard to answer their needs. If members want an extra level of service, the council operates a fee-based consulting business called the Center for Public Affairs Management. What's more, each request is logged into a database and reported back to the member at the end of the year, along with a list of conferences attended, Web site IDs used, listservs joined and publications purchased.
Companies try to create a customer relationship.
Our job is to create a sense of community for those who work in the public affairs profession. But if we didn't act like we mean business, we'd never achieve that goal.
