Dear CLICK4HP members,

I'm interested in soliciting your experience with policies on
departmental/organizational advocacy in the agencies/organizations in which
you work. Do your employing institutions have policies or proceedures which
govern which issues are considered as ones the institution will take a
public stand on? Are there proceedures which govern how candidate issues
are vetted for consideration?  Are these policies and proceedures
formalized in writing, or informal understandings?  Please note that I'm
interested in department/organizational advocacy and/or public endorsements
of specific causes (ie as a collective corporate entity), NOT the advocacy
or actions of individuals within your departments/organizations.

Please respond to me directly at <[log in to unmask]>, rather than to
CLICK4HP.

If I receive sufficient responses, and indications of interest, I will
compile the responses and post them to CLICK4HP at a future date.
