Local

The county board members are listed in the Crawford County official directory, which has the contact information for the elected officials at the different levels of government, including county, city, village, and town.

Here are some tips for communicating with elected officials. The key is to establish a relationship, be available, be realistic, and be helpful. And remember — county board members, city council, village board, and town board members are elected officials too.

• Don’t feel bad if you don’t talk with the elected official. Aides are top-notch. They write the legislation and make the agency contacts.

• Establish a relationship with your elected officials and their aides.

• Visit with them. Go to office hours and visit their offices when you’re in town. Invite them to visit you when they are in your area.

• Tout your successes. Give them a call, send a newspaper clipping.

• Invite them to events. Even if the elected official cannot attend, s/he may send one of their aides.

• Connected when needed. Remember, elected officials can help with issues regarding the government.

• Respond in a timely manner. If they have questions or want additional information, provide it in a timely manner — get back to them immediately if possible.

• Have others talk about how important your issue is to them.
