Coordination is essential for your multi-level lobbying efforts. In this workshop we’ll dive deep into why coordinating across your local, state, and federal lobbying teams is so crucial, highlight case studies of where coordination paid off (and a lack thereof hindered success), and how to get your colleagues bought in and on board.

In this program, you’ll gain insight into:

    • Examples of when successful coordination across local, state and federal government relations teams led to a “win” (and, conversely, when lack of coordination was a hindrance) 
    • How to break down silos between teams and get colleagues on board 
    • Designing and fostering collaboration across the public affairs function and beyond

Welcome and introductions

Better Together

Staying focused on your lobbying expertise, whether local, state or federal, is the easy part. However, breaking down silos among your government relations teams can lead to major benefits. Our expert will discuss why communicating and coordinating across your lobbying efforts is a crucial key to unlocking government relations success. 

In this session we will: 

  • Examine how breaking your organization’s local, state and federal lobbying efforts out of their silos can strengthen outcomes 
  • Share best practices for improving coordination and communication across lobbying teams 
  • Demonstrate how stronger alignment across jurisdictions can help identify new opportunities  
  • Discuss approaches to sharing resources, stakeholders and strategies

Case Studies

In the second half of our workshop, our expert will highlight real-world examples of lobbying teams who modified their coordination for the better, exploring how these improvements helped them realize government relations success and improve collaboration over time. 

In this session, we will discuss: 

  • Examples of when coordination between lobbying teams led to government relations wins—and when gaps hindered success 
  • Best practices for sustaining effective communication among lobbying teams  
  • How to adjust your strategies during times of stress or crisis
