An Opinion By Jan Bergemann

Last year's initiative "On the Road to Better Business" was clearly nothing but a propaganda campaign for the DBPR. Many citizens who attended the meetings were surprised when they read Secretary Drago's evaluation of these meetings. Just read: 

A USELESS STATE AGENCY AND A DISMAL SECRETARY

 

This year it's easier for us citizens to get in touch with Secretary Drago  -- so they say? Please read the announcement below, as published in the DBPR newsletter on May 28, 2009.

 

Don't give up, talk with Secretary Drago on-line -- no harm done if he doesn't listen -- again! Here are the instructions and the page with the connections:

Please use this good opportunity to voice your complaints about the DBPR to Secretary Drago. And keep a copy of this communication -- for future references. Just in case the Secretary claims again (quote): ".... they had great things to say about the people who work here. I know that we will continue to improve the way we serve our licensees and the people of Florida . It takes great people to affect change, and we’re fortunate to have a wonderful team."

Dear Friends,

It is hard to believe that a year has passed since we began the "On the Road to Better Business" initiative. When I began to think back to how much I learned in those meetings and the invaluable feedback that only the end-user can provide, I knew we had to do something to continue the momentum.

This year, I wanted to do the same thing—gain feedback from our customers. In light of challenging budget times, it is important to me that we keep travel expenses to a minimum. With that in mind, we’ve created "Quality on the Line," DBPR's new, Web-based customer service initiative. There is no cost associated with the initiative.

For "Quality on the Line," the state has been divided into five districts and office hours will be conducted online. You will be able to submit questions, concerns or suggestions to me via an electronic form, which will be available online when the "office is open." I will be at my computer during office hours and will be responding to you as your e-mails come in.

I want to personally invite you to contact me during "Quality on the Line." The first virtual office hours will be in South Florida on Tuesday, June 2, from 12 to 3 p.m. Please check the Web site to see whether your county is included in this district. For more information about the initiative and to find out when I will be online in your area, please visit MyFloridaLicense.com.

Quality is on the line, and DBPR needs your feedback to put customer service on the map. I am eager to hear from you!

Sincerely,

Chuck Drago's Signature
