Quarterly State and Federal Lobbying Activity Reports Due October 14, 2011
	October 12, 2011 Reminder: Lobbying reports are due on Friday, October 14, 2011. Please go to governmentrelations.wsu.edu/Lobbying.html and fill out the two separate online forms for state and federal lobbying activity between July 1, 2011–September 30, 2011. If you did not lobby, you do not need to report. Sent October 5, 2011: Members of the WSU Community: Quarterly lobbying reports must be filed online by October 14, 2011, covering WSU employee activities between July 1, 2011, and September 30, 2011. For your convenience, you can report your lobbying activities through an online submission form found at governmentrelations.wsu.edu/Lobbying.html. The reports will be reviewed and forwarded to the state Public Disclosure Commission and proper federal agencies. Note that you do not need to file a ‘no activity’ report online if you did not lobby this quarter. Not every meeting, event, and interaction you have with elected officials is considered lobbying. Visit our lobbying page for points of clarification on what you should and should not necessarily report. In the future, to help you facilitate interaction with elected officials, it is best that WSU employees consult with Government Relations staff in advance of any lobbying activity to ensure that we send a coordinated message from our institution. Meetings of this nature can be multi-layered and touch many parts of the WSU community, therefore communicating with Government Relations can provide for a more organized legislative outcome. Additionally, Chris and Michele on our Government Relations staff are available to help you determine appropriate and legal ways to communicate with public officials and external stakeholders on political issues:       Federal Relations—Michele McCarver, 509-335-5756       State Relations—Chris Mulick, 360-534-2333 Thank you for taking the time to ensure that we give an accurate report of time and money spent on lobbying. Sincerely, Colleen Kerr Associate Vice President for External Affairs and Chief Legislative Officer
