Blog 2: Free Write

The first week of work was quite interesting and very fast paced, which was a little overwhelming because I was expecting more of a slow week to ease into the role. The first project given to me was to help Liz Archuleta, who is a County Supervisor from Coconino, prepare for her election for NACo 2nd Vice President. NACo is the National Association of Counties. I worked on a document for her that consisted of 54 pages of information to help her quickly prepare for each interview she will be going to. Basically, because she will be meeting with so many people in the next couple weeks from all over the US, she will not have the time to do research herself, and find out information about all the people she will be meeting with.

The document I created for Liz did end up taking me the entire first week of work to complete. It was an enjoyable experience, being able to familiarize myself with many faces around the country, current bills that are being worked on, and other miscellaneous information. By the end of the week, I was able to give Liz a packet that consisted of information for all 50 states. The importance of this document is for Liz to be able to flip to the page that corresponds with the state that she is in, so she can familiarize herself with the faces and names of the people she will be meeting with and the current government related information that has been of debate recently, all at a quick glance. In a future blog, I will mention how the election turned out for Liz.
