Lobbying and Advocacy, by Deanna Gelak

LOBBYING AND ADVOCACY

DOES YOUR LIBRARY  HAVE THE ESSENTIAL BIBLE OF LOBBYING?

What the experts are saying:

"This work is required reading for all who make their living 'petitioning their government..."  Steve Bartlett, President and CEO, The Financial Services Roundtable and former Member of Congress

"There are lots of books on lobbying, but, until now, none has provided a comprehensive treatment of what lobbyists do and how they can best do it...  The strength of his volume is its practical advice, checklists, and collection of best practices covering direct advocacy, media relations, grassroots organizing, and coalition building." Thomas M. Susman, Government Affairs Director, The American Bar Association

 "... an invaluable guide for all citizens interested in exercising this constitutional right." Michael Barone, Co-author, The Almanac of American Politics

"This book is useful, whether you are overseeing a government relations function, launching a lobbying effort, building coalitions, or monitoring public policy... Lobbying and Advocacy is the ultimate lobbyist's handbook."  Randel K. Johnson, Vice President, US Chamber of Commerce

"Every lobbying team will hope their legislative opponents don't have this very effective resource."  Ned Monroe, Vice President of Political Affairs, National Restaurant Association

"...a great resource for anyone who works in Washington or who wants to know how public policy advocacy really works." Andy Mekelberg, Vice President, Federal Government Relations for Verizon

"It should be in every association's library."
-- Paul W. Hallman, President,  MultiState Associates, Inc.
