Local governments and state agencies rely on email to share information, in a myriad of ways, as a part of regular business. For example, to:
- Authorize specific actions
- Disseminate policies and procedures
- Approve payments
- Interpret terms of contracts
- Correspond with the public, customers, or constituents
- Communicate with staff
- Circulate memoranda related to official business
- Discuss work schedules and assignments
- Share agendas and minutes of meetings
- Issue final reports or recommendations
