Lobbying = Influencing the Process
A strong government affairs program depends on more than just knowledge of the process of lawmaking and rulemaking. The best GA program capitalizes on the personal relationships developed with key officials at the local, state and federal levels. The stronger these connections are, the better access a company or organization can influence the process. Additional influence is multiplied by developing contacts and relationships with other stakeholders in a given industry.
