Dear Federal, State and Local Government Communications Professionals:

The communications role in government has never been more important than it is today. Daunting security challenges, elevated public scrutiny, increased emphasis on employee performance, and the heightened need to attract and retain qualified public servants -- all these factors make strong internal communications programs critical to agency success.

On January 28-31, 2013, the Advanced Learning Institute (A.L.I.) invites you to attend their 11th conference focusing on "Strategic Internal Communications in Government." If you are a government communications manager or have the responsibility for crafting and delivering employee messages, this important professional development conference is one you can’t afford to miss!

HOW WILL THIS CONFERENCE HELP YOU & YOUR AGENCY?

• Federal Aviation Administration successfully engaged a large and diverse workforce, as well as ensured everyone had a voice in how the agency is run, while building a safe and vibrant community
• Genome Alberta used social media to gain the attention of their employees allowing them to refocus their energy in to their internal objectives
• U.S. Government Accountability Office monitored, managed and reported successful internal communications

Nationwide communications experts will share best practices and lessons learned through case study presentations and interactive workshops, including what has already worked (and not worked) in real-life situations.

You'll leave this conference with new ideas to address your most pressing challenges including stakeholder management, strategic communications planning, using social media tools to enhance your traditional communications, delivering timely and accurate messages and eliciting useful employee feedback. There will also be plenty of time for informal networking and exploring ways of applying what you have learned on the job.
