- What Value to a Lobbyist are these Services?
We assist you as you
represent your organization. Georgia lobby is a service that will keep you
informed of the very important committee meetings and their agendas and
bills. As
most lobbyist know, it is in the committees that most legislative work is
done. Attendance at committee meetings can often mean legislative success
or failure. Knowledge about proposed legislation is your key to
effectiveness.
Most lobbyist spend hours
at the Capitol just to keep informed about dates and times of House and
Senate Committee meetings. Most will come to the Capitol everyday to
review the Committee Boards for this purpose. Often as soon as they
walk away from the boards, changes are made. The information outdates
as soon as you walk away. They spend hours before the House and
Senate Clerks offices retrieving versions of proposed legislation. We do this for you.
We inform
you via email of the dates and times and published agendas of committees.
We link the bills to the
Georgia Legislative Website.
Georgia Lobby clients are reporting that this is an invaluable service to them. They
no longer have to worry about missing an important meeting or not getting
the latest legislative update.
