Welcome to
701 Strategies
Thank you for visiting 701 Strategies. I’ve built a career by passionately pursuing solutions for organizations, companies and people. Whether you have a legislative or political issue, or desire for your nonprofit or chamber to reach its potential for your members and community, I am committed to your success.
Government Relations
As an expert in Government Relations, I specialize in building strong, strategic relationships with key stakeholders to effectively navigate the legislative process. My approach is grounded in understanding the intricacies of the process, ensuring that advocacy efforts are both timely and impactful. I am deeply passionate about my clients’ issues, dedicated to amplifying their voices, especially those who might not otherwise be heard.
By combining my 35+ years of expertise with a commitment to giving my clients a voice, I help them achieve their goals and influence policy decisions in meaningful ways.
“Working with Scott the past few sessions has given the Guild a higher profile in the legislative process and yielded positive results for our craft beer industry in North Dakota.”
– Mike Frohlich, Laughing Sun Brewing and Past President, North Dakota Brewers Guild
Nonprofit Consulting
How do you know if your nonprofit organization is on the right track? Strategic Plan up to date? Is your Board of Directors not engaged, or too engaged? Do you have Board meetings, but never seem to make progress? Highly effective, efficient nonprofit organizations require diligence and vision to meet their mission. As a Certified Association Executive (CAE) and graduate of the Institute of Organizational Management (IOM), I have experience and resources to guide your organization to reach its potential.
“Our board engaged Scott to help guide us through the strategic planning process for our association following a change of leadership. His vast experience and easy to understand approach to the process truly gave us a great roadmap for the future.”
– Kayla Pulvermacher, Executive Director, North Dakota Grain Growers Association
