Invitations to Ministers
The Ministers at the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Nature receive numerous invitations. They may be asked open a building, to speak at a conference or to accept the presentation of a book. The Ministers value these invitations greatly. They find it very useful to talk to people around the country and see how policy can be improved and renewed.
Invite the right person
An invitation to an event which falls outside the portfolio of the Minister is unlikely to succeed. Check the portfolio of Femke Wiersma and the portfolio of Jean Rummenie before making a request.
Give supporting arguments to your request
Give clear supporting arguments. Why is this the right time for a meeting or visit? Why do you want to invite this Minister? What have you recently achieved or started that is interesting for him to see? If you have any background material, such as a folder, send that too.
In advance of the event
Try to send your invitation at least 3 months before the event. It takes about 3 weeks to coordinate a visit with the policy department, communications department and the Ministers. A last-minute invitation is almost impossible to fit in.
