Set the executive contacts scope

Maintain Executive Contact Records starts with a written boundary. Name the request, the source, the owner, and the evidence. A clear rule keeps routine coordination separate from executive judgment.

The main risk is that a contact can be outdated or shared without permission. Record the source and time before changing a status.

Capture the evidence

A usable record includes contact, organization, role, preference, source, and last update. Keep the source beside the record so another reviewer can reconstruct what happened.

The executive assistant confirms the decision or exception. The assistant can update approved fields and route sensitive changes, but should not fill a gap with an assumption.

Separate preparation from judgment

Decisions about relationship and privacy decisions remain with the authorized owner. Use three labels: proceed, pause for missing evidence, and escalate.

Run the review

Review stale contacts, duplicates, and access exceptions. For example, a key contact changes roles. Record what evidence was available and who owned the next step.

Pilot one workflow

Start with one contact group. Test the checklist on a small batch and review exceptions with the owner.
