Boost your team's government relations IQ

Stay briefed on regulatory matters, 
  legislative issues and key influencers

When we develop a government affairs strategy,
we think of the DC landscape in three critical areas.

Based on the political climate, the emphasis can change
from year to year, but the structure remains the same.

Regulatory Matters

  • Issue a weekly newsletter highlighting policy changes
  • Create policy briefs on topics under consideration
  • Coordinate comment letters for proposed rule making
Regulatory Matters

Legislative Issues

  • Profile new congressional members on key committees
  • Provide access to Congressional visits and meeting facilities on Capitol Hill.
  • Provide high level read outs from congressional hearings
  • Keep abreast of pending legislation and potential impact
Legislative Issues

Trades, Think Tanks & Influencers

  • Host meetings with consumer advocates and civil rights organizations
  • Advance important issues with the trades where more traction is needed
