The Congressional Management Foundation (CMF) is a group which works with members of Congress and their staff to foster better relationships with their constituents and work more effectively. They have recently released a report called “Face to Face with Congress: Before, During, and After Meetings with Legislators.” The report focuses on setting up effective meetings with legislators on Capitol Hill and is well worth a read for government affairs professionals looking to plan fly-ins for the new Congress.

Again we have our friends at WaWa, Inc. to thank for obtaining a Federal Election Commission Advisory Opinion (AO 2012-2) elaborating on the definition of “executive and administrative personnel” for purposes of defining those individuals eligible for PAC solicitations.
