By: Capitol Seminars Cost of the seminars is $250 each. For more information or to enroll, visit http://raylebov.com/ “It’s entirely appropriate that our November seminars take place just after the mid-term elections,” says Capitol Seminars founder and presenter Ray LeBov. “One of the main points we emphasize is that lobbyists always need to be prepared to deal with changes in the legislative and regulatory environment. A new California Legislature will be sworn in the second week of December and begin work in earnest in January 2015. With more frequent turnover in the Legislature now a fact of life, the importance of effective governmental advocacy will only increase.” 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 guest 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. “We have become recognized as the leader in career development in governmental advocacy because we deliver the goods,” says LeBov. “We offer course content and a level of instruction by working professionals in state government and governmental advocacy you won’t find anywhere else. We cover the entire spectrum of governmental advocacy in two days. And we offer a great opportunity to network with your professional colleagues." “Whatever your academic background, and regardless of whether you’re a novice, a veteran, or somewhere in between, our specialized training is a perfect way to prepare for this very challenging profession,” Capitol Seminars offers professional development opportunities not only to new and experienced lobbyists and their support staff, but companies that engage lobbyists; law firms; trade and professional associations; “Since we founded Capitol Seminars in 2006, more than 1500 practitioners have taken our courses, including a substantial number of the current lobbying corps in Sacramento,” Capitol Seminars also offers customized on-site training for public agencies, companies and membership associations interested in a convenient, cost-effective means of training larger numbers of staff or members all at once. These training sessions can also be delivered over the web for organizations whose personnel are based in multiple locations.
