Capitol Seminars' “Lobbying 101 / Legislative Process” seminar set for February 1 in SacramentoSeminar presenter and veteran lobbyist Ray LeBov says demand for effective advocates will only grow as turnover becomes the norm in CA Legislature; his introductory seminar covers the basics of advocacy for government and public affairs professionals
By: Capitol Seminars Jan. 8, 2013 - PRLog -- Sacramento, California -- Capitol Seminars will next present its popular seminar “Lobbying 101 / Understanding the Legislative Process” on Friday, February 1 from 8:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. at Suite 2220, the Esquire Plaza, 1215 K Street in Sacramento, California.
“A new era in California politics has begun with the seating of the 2013 Legislature,” “Lobbying 101” provides an introduction to the California legislative process and best practices for effective advocacy, embellished by LeBov’s real-world insights from 38 years of working in and around the California Legislature. “One of the core principles we teach government and public affairs professionals is that success in legislative advocacy comes not only from serving your clients’ interests, but from building relationships with legislators and their staffs and becoming a trusted and valuable resource for them,” says LeBov. Capitol Seminars offers professional development opportunities not only to new and experienced lobbyists and their support staffs, but companies that engage lobbyists; law firms; trade and professional associations; “We recognize that there are many veteran lobbyists who have either taken our courses or otherwise fully understand the basics,” says LeBov. “But they can help friends and colleagues by referring them to us, and by sending their junior staff. Some of our clients send all their new staffers to our seminars as part of their initial training.” Lobbying 101 topics include registration & disclosure requirements, ethics, legislative rules and exceptions, working with legislative committees, review of key legislative publications, glossaries of key terms, how to read a bill, do’s and don'ts of testimony, rules for effective advocacy, attributes of a successful lobbyist, how to choose the right author for a sponsored bill, the lobbyist / client relationship, respective roles in the Capitol and the district, and much more. Seminar attendees not only receive instruction, but participate in interactive exercises and are provided with comprehensive resource materials.
