Lobbying and Government Affairs
What constitutes an effective lobbying effort?
Many people think that sending a letter to a mayor, town supervisor or legislator, or attending the annual fundraiser of a member of the county or state legislature will suffice to effectively communicate a message to an elected official.
Although these actions are components of any lobbying effort, they just scratch the surface of what really constitutes an actual lobbying strategy.
That’s what the partners of Masiello, Martucci and Associates (MMA) do – we conceptualize, design and implement a total lobbying strategy and program to make sure that your message and goals are presented to the right people in the strongest possible way.
The lobbying process in New York State is not an easy one. A vast network of interest groups is involved in every policy debate. Finding a place at the table and getting your message heard can be an overwhelming task, especially for a business person involved in the day to day running of a business.
