By: Capitol Seminars Jan. 14, 2013 - PRLog -- SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Capitol Seminars will next present its advanced course, “Lobbying 201,” on Friday, February 8 from 8:30am – 1:30pm at the Esquire Plaza, 1215 K Street in Sacramento.
Conducted by Capitol Seminars founder Ray LeBov, a veteran of 38 years working in and around the California Legislature, “Lobbying 201” features subject matter experts who provide real-world insights into and best practices for the critical areas of budget advocacy, regulatory agency advocacy, media strategies, and lobbying the administration. “A great deal of legislation has financial implications, so it’s just as important to track the progress of the budget, and offer input as appropriate, as it is to participate in the legislative process of individual bills,” explains LeBov. “You need a seat at the table when budget issues are deliberated, and you need to know how to lobby effectively on those issues.” “Another practice area even experienced lobbyists overlook is regulatory agency advocacy,” he adds. “Most bills are not self-executing; “Lobbying 201” is designed not only for new and experienced lobbyists and their support staff, but for organizations that engage lobbyists; law firms; trade and professional associations; Since its founding in 2006, Capitol Seminars has hosted more than 1500 enrollees in its introductory and advanced courses. Some firms and agencies send all their new staffers to these seminars for training. “The Legislative Process / Lobbying 101” seminar, which will next be offered on February 1, is presented throughout the year, while “Lobbying 201” is presented at least four times a year. Cost of the seminars is $250 each. For more information or to enroll, visit http://www.capitolseminars.net or telephone 916-442-5009.
