The agency wants a PR firm that can provide general PR services and deliver key agency messages through a PR campaign via traditional and social media. The hired firm would also be required to prepare a bi-annual newsletter and coordinate JMEUC's social media outlets; conduct media monitoring duties regarding any legislation that could potentially affect JMEUC’s operations; help draft amendments and/or legislation as well as testimony preparation for JMEUC’s executive director; and attend monthly board meetings as well as NJ Legislature hearings where bills affecting JMEUC are being considered.

Proposals will be evaluated on a criterion of experience, knowledge of Joint Meeting and the subject matter addressed in the RFQ and availability to attend required meetings.

Submissions should be mailed to executive director Samuel T. McGhee, Joint Meeting of Essex and Union Counties, 500 South First Street, Elizabeth, NJ 07202.

Proposals are due by 2 p.m. on Oct 26.
