Communicating with other agencies
Know who you're meeting with
Know who decision makers are
Be respectful, but be firm on your mission
Stay within your scope of authority, and don’t speak out of turn. We all have limitations on what we can and can’t do or commit to.
Are you going there or are they coming to you? Why does that matter?
Be clear on why you are meeting
Correspond professionally, clearly and timely.
Many outside agencies do not know or understand your Tribes specific processes, needs or infrastructure. You may have to take time to educate them on that.
