The Georgia Environmental Action Network (GEAN) is a collaborative effort among environmental and conservation organizations throughout the state to educate and mobilize their memberships utilizing a state-of-the-art electronic action alert system.
This system provides the conservation community with a powerful means for getting their collaborative message out to elected officials, administrative decision makers, and leaders in big business and industry.
GEAN's constituent matching system separates this system from other list serves and action networks. Studies show that public officials pay closer attention to faxed or emailed letters from constituents whose names and addresses are included in the document than they do regular mass email messages. GEAN automatically matches you to your voting districts, includes your contact information and delivers each letter to your elected officials ? all with one mouse click!
