Every month, all members receive Impact , the association's newsletter about public affairs news and trends. The Council also produces an electronic news service called Public Affairs Monitor . This biweekly service provides summaries of major national news stories dealing with public affairs issues. It is delivered via e-mail directly to Council members. Other Council publications are available for purchase, including books on benchmarking, strategic planning and political action committees.
Members receive substantial discounts on all publications.
When companies belong to the Council, they can access the only comprehensive library on public affairs programs and public interest groups. Members frequently visit the Council's headquarters to check out our files or to meet with staff to discuss a particular information need. The Council's Web site gives members an electronic link to the expertise of both staff and thousands of other public affairs professionals. Members of the Council also work together on many projects to advance the profession, including task forces, management roundtables and the development of new programs. When they sit at the table with top executives from leading companies, members are learning from the best - and they are establishing their own reputations as public affairs leaders.
