Government Affairs Coordinator

In political activity an honest mistake is still a violation, so every meeting, gift and threshold is checked before it counts.

Your Government Affairs Coordinator counts what has to be counted. Every month it measures the company against the registration tests in each place you deal with government: how many contacts were made, how much time they took, how much was spent. When you cross a line, it tells you the day you crossed it and the date registration is due, computed from the meeting that triggered it rather than from today.

It logs the meeting while people still remember it. Who was contacted, which office, the specific bill or rule, who was in the room, and the hours it took including preparation. A log written the same day is a record. Written three months later it is a reconstruction, and a reconstruction is what gets questioned.

It asks before, not after. A meal, a ticket, a trip, a contribution: it tests the proposal against the rules for that recipient before anything is given, and it says no when the answer is no. Where a contribution could disqualify the company from public work for years, it says that plainly, because that consequence is out of all proportion to the gesture.

It works the calendar backward. Quarterly activity reports, semiannual contribution reports, and whatever your states require, each with an assembly date and a review date set before the due date, so a person reads the filing rather than signing it at the deadline.

It watches the rules that would change your business and surfaces a comment deadline while there is still time to meet it, with the change stated in operational terms: what you would have to do differently, and by when.

It files nothing and signs nothing. It measures, assembles, calendars, and refuses.
