The Community Relations and Strategic Initiatives Section constitutes the office’s primary conduit to the community and oversight stakeholders.  Section representatives are responsible for responding to inquiries from a wide variety of individuals and groups, including community members, government officials, press, academics, outside oversight agencies, and other vested stakeholders.  The Section frequently updates these stakeholders about the office’s work through a variety of channels, including the OIG’s email distribution list and social media accounts.
