The role of the CDL(Congressional District Liaison) is an integral
part of the infrastructure of the State Association. It provides a Face-to-Face,
personal exposure with our elected officials that is essential to having a
successful relationship, and will vastly help to improve our status with our
Representatives and their Aides, and get our message
across….

Assistant Congressional District Liaisons –
States that have congressional districts that are either geographically too large for one liaison to cover or have many local branches within the district should consider appointing one or more assistant congressional district liaisons to assist the congressional district liaison in communicating with members of Congress and members of the NALC in the district.
Since this position, which is also appointed by the state chair, is being established to provide assistance to the congressional district liaisons, the duties and expectations should be developed by each individual association to increase effectiveness of this position. However, the position should have the minimum requirements of the following:
-Must be a member in good standing of the National Association of Letter
Carriers.
- District Officer/Liaison will make recommendations on Assistant CDLs, but
the State Chair will have the final say as to who is appointed
-Must be a registered voter within the congressional district.
-Should not be, if at all possible, one of the current state officers (which
would allow more members to get involved in the legislative/political process)
-Must contact district congressional representative/staff on a regular basis.
-Must participate in election campaigns at the direction of the state president.
-Must be able to complete all duties and expectations of the congressional
district liaison that either geographic size or number of branches in the
district render the congressional district liaison unable to complete on his
or her own.
