Through
years of experience in Washington,
Washington Strategies' principals
have established extensive contacts
with federal lawmakers and their
staffs.
These
relationships are essential for any
lobbying campaign. We have
learned, in addition, the ability
to create and convey convincing
messages that cut through today’s
policy barriers to successfully reach
targeted policymakers.
In
this era of “information overload,” where
retail politics and electronic
lobbying campaigns overwhelm policymakers
and institutions, Washington Strategies
understands that the most effective
way to achieve results in Washington
is to establish long-term relationships
with key decision makers, build
convincing
arguments for position, and then
mobilize those leaders as advocates.
Examples of Washington Strategies'
recent issues lobbying work include:
Organizing and promoting an Armed Services Committee hearing on international shipping and maritime security issues for a multinational shipping corporation;
Securing over 225 cosponsors in the House for a tax incentive bill for a large technology firm;
Successfully mobilizing support to pass a key amendment through the House Resources Committee for a nonprofit grassroots organization;
Acting as the liaison between a resources issues client and the Department of Justice and the Department of the Interior;
Organizing
a summit in Washington of more than
20 university presidents to directly
lobby their Members of Congress to
remove a provision from the Higher
Education Reauthorization bill deemed
detrimental to their institutions;
Arranging
Member meetings for CEOs of museums
from around the country and guiding
them around Capitol Hill as they
encouraged Congress to establish
a grant program for America’s
museums. |
