Constituent Affairs
Constituent Affairs staff liaise between USDA and industry groups, trade associations, non-profit associations, farm bureaus, and other USDA stakeholder groups and the general public. Our staff also provides information about USDA's eight mission areas and their programs; and work to maintain effective relationships with the general public, special interest groups, internal audiences and others in planning and organizing special events sponsored by USDA. Additionally, Constituent Affairs supports USDA participation at external conferences and meetings.
USDA welcomes regular in-person and virtual visitation from our stakeholders. We use a variety of video and teleconference options to ensure our remote constituents can hear from and speak directly with our staff and leadership. For additional information, please contact our Constituent Affairs office.
