Associations
Associations face unique challenges advocating their agendas on Capitol Hill and with regulatory bodies. With a new Administration, dozens of new members of Congress, new committee chairs and new leadership at virtually every agency, the need to advocate effectively has never been greater. At the same time, budget constraints can make it more difficult to maintain the pace you did with your advocacy efforts in the 110th. Lobbying is expensive, and we recognize that returns on the time and money you invest are crucial.
At Crosby~Volmer we do not directly lobby. Instead, associations depend on Crosby~Volmer to use strategic public relations in laying the groundwork for successful.
In the 110th Congress Crosby~Volmer:
- Arranged over 300 town halls with Members of Congress or key staff in conjunction with our clients.
- Placed thousands of in-District opinion editorials and articles using association presidents, their members and third-party advocates to help convince Members of Congress to vote for or against legislation.
- Booked over 8,000 speaking engagements with key businesses and civic organizations in every Congressional District.
- Held dozens of events to educate Congressional staff on key issues.
- Recruited hundreds of third-party groups to advocate for or against specific issues.
- Trained key association members to advocate national issues from a local perspective, converting fly-ins and lobbying days to year-round in-District efforts.
Organizations that Crosby~Volmer has assisted include:
