The Governental Affairs & Communications Division oversees county information programs which include county newsletters and county public relations. It encourages meetings between county Farm Bureau leaders and members of the media, provides assistance in producing county newsletters and trains county newsletter editors and information directors how to have effective ongoing communications with their members and the general public.
Public Relations is an important function of the county Farm Bureau. Contact
with the media, both print and electronic, keeping members informed, and promoting
the county Farm Bureau and its services, are all part of this program. Training
programs and updates are provided.
There are two positions:
County
Information Director (CID) and County Newsletter Editor (CNE),
although one person may serve both positions.
Each month, CIDs and CNEs receive
the Companion Newsletter via regular mail or email with helpful tips, information and
articles to include in county newsletters. (Available in Members Only)
CIDs and CNEs may Submit County Information electronically for on their county Farm Bureau website pages. See also Submission Help.
A Communications Handbook (Available in Members Only) has been developed to assist CID/CNEs in performing their duties. Personalized assistance is always
available as well.
