Communications

The mandate of the Communications Portfolio is to keep the membership informed on a timely basis of ongoing activities and initiatives both within CALEP and in the industry in general. The primary means to accomplish this is through The Negotiator.The negotiator is published ¼ March, June, September, and December; it is the one source of our members' constitutional, educational, technical, organizational, and social information. Through the efforts of an extensive network of volunteers, The Negotiator has established itself as a premier and award-winning industry publication. Alliances with governments, interest groups and other industry organizations enable The Negotiator to publish articles of interest and relevance and to keep our membership apprised of new and ongoing initiatives and upcoming industry events.  
 
The Negotiator is funded through a combination of advertising revenue and membership dues and is provided to members and select industry associates online.  
 
Inquiries regarding advertising space, rates, content concerns, and comments are in the Negotiator.

• Manage the ¼ Negotiator issues
• Manage advertising for the negotiator

Community Engagement

The Public Relations Committee is responsible for promoting the CALEP and the land profession within the industry and the communities in which it operates. Our goal is to educate and create awareness of the role of the Landman and the contributions made by the 1700 members of our Association.

We achieve this through our principal activities, which include:

• Educate and inform the public of the role of the Landman through our participation in public forums, conventions, and conferences.
• Attracting bright young people to our profession through presentations at high school and post-secondary institutions.
• Working with the media to relay news of the Association’s activities and matters of public interest.
• Sponsorship of various special events and an annual fundraising effort for the Alberta 4-H Foundation.
• Publication of our Annual Report and other promotional materials, including brochures, information packages, and videos.
• Coordinate special events for the Association.
• Assisting other CALEP committees in the execution of their duties.

The Public Relations Committee has several standing subcommittees responsible for planning and executing these goals and activities. New members willing to assist and contribute are always welcome. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to provide feedback.
