I served as primary Liaison between the Postal Service and Members of Congress representing the states of Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, North and South Dakota and Pennsylvania. My goal as Postal Liaison was to establish and maintain a positive working relationship with Members and their staffs and keep them informed on Postal Service policies and concerns. More importantly, I ensured all my Members were made aware of any pending legislation and regulatory issues affecting the USPS. Assisting with constituent concerns was an integral part of a Government Relations Rep's job. Throughout my postal career, I have developed an extensive knowledge of the roles and functions of the different postal departments and management structure. This knowledge enabled me to sufficiently identify the appropriate department that would help to ensure each Member's issues were handled expeditiously and at the appropriate level within the USPS. It was also essential for me to keep updated on current events that included budget, Postal Regulatory Commission rulings and advisory opinions, as well as public analysis by the GAO and OIG as these reviews are frequently requested by members of Congress in support of their efforts.

As a Government Relations Analyst, I analyzed, researched and responded to inquiries from members of Congress and other federal government agencies, including the President's office, informing them about Postal Service policy matters. Policy matters included, but were not limited to, network changes, ratemaking, mail classification, contracting, procurement, facilities, personnel issues and any other issues in which congressional leaders had expressed interest or that may have an impact on their constituents. Part of the research entailed coordinating with other postal departments at Headquarters, District and Area offices, to ensure that responses were accurate, consistent, reflected the most current postal position, and conveyed timely information. I analyzed, evaluated, and integrated feedback, informational materials, and data to develop timely and appropriate responses. I also developed written responses which clearly explained and addressed the relevant issues and facilitated understanding of the Postal Service's position. Edited and rewrote materials prepared by other functional areas, and ensured informational accuracy and effective presentation. Established and maintained cooperative working relationships with other functional areas to facilitate effective communication between the Postal Service and Congressional requesters. Prepared special reports and assisted with special government relations initiatives.
