This document summarizes information for groundwater conservation districts (GCDs) about communicating with elected officials. It identifies important elected officials at the state, county, city, and special district levels. It provides websites to help identify legislators. The document recommends that GCDs introduce themselves to officials through email and meetings, invite officials to GCD meetings, and attend other governmental meetings. GCDs should share concise background information, newsletters, annual reports, and legislative priorities with officials. Regular communication helps address the "fear of the unknown" and build trust between GCDs and elected representatives.
