By: Capitol Seminars “Both the first and second years of the current legislative session have demonstrated that political dynamics do change, and can change quickly, in the Legislature,” “It’s a challenging profession,” LeBov’s “Lobbying 101” course provides an introduction to the California legislative process and best practices for effective advocacy, embellished by LeBov’s real-world insights from 39 years of working in and around the California Legislature. In “Lobbying 201,” LeBov is joined by subject matter experts in the budget process, lobbying the administration, media relations, and regulatory agency advocacy, an area often overlooked by even the most experienced lobbyists. 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 offer course content and a level of instruction from working professionals that you won’t find anywhere else,” says LeBov. “In two sessions, we provide a solid foundation across the entire spectrum of governmental advocacy, not just the legislative process. And we offer a great opportunity to network and interact with your professional colleagues. “The word has gotten out that we deliver the goods,” adds LeBov. “As a result, we’re seeing more and more senior level people from lobbying firms, law firms, associations, universities and public agencies at our seminars. They’re also sending their junior staff and referring their friends and colleagues.” Since its founding, Capitol Seminars has hosted more than 1500 participants in its introductory and advanced courses.
