Congress may pass a law, but regulators give the law its teeth. Learn and hone tested strategies and tactics for weighing in on federal regulation and rulemaking in a way that advances your mission and industry.
Featured Topic & Speakers
With over 70,000 pages of regulations published in the Federal Register in 2020 alone, the regulatory landscape is a crowded and complicated – but essential – part of the legislative and advocacy process. Our experts will cover everything you need to know for establishing or advancing your regulatory advocacy knowledge, goals and strategies.
In this workshop, you’ll gain insight into:
- How key distinctions between the legislative and regulatory processes should impact your public affairs approach
- Steps to build a strong regulatory advocacy function, including sample staffing structures
- Best practices for coordinating regulatory advocacy with broader advocacy efforts, such as lobbying and grassroots
- Methods for monitoring, prioritizing and communicating internally about regulation before it affects your company’s bottom line
- Metrics for showcasing the regulatory function’s value to the rest of your organization
- Ways to increase the impact of your regulatory advocacy efforts, such as key groups to join
