When to communicate
 As soon as possible to create a professional relationship
 Whenever you are assigned work or are asked for a reply
 Try to get to know them on a personal basis so they are
more willing to communicate with you when you need them
to.
 Never call in the middle of the night around 7 to 8 would
be optimal for most
 If assigning work make sure to tell the people being
assigned the work far enough in advance.
“If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.”

How to communicate
 In person is always the best option
 Make phone calls to your president's, Regional Advisor and
anyone else necessary to get the job done
 E-mails are a must with the job as you need to relay a lot of
information to a lot of people in a short time
 Other forms of communication such as Instant messengers
(AIM etc.) might connect to your members faster.
“If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.”
