Strategy: Provide strategic counsel as the company refined its policy agenda and positions. Develop legislative strategies that would allow the company to engage key administration officials and members of Congress on priority issues. Create a DC positioning plan to aid an issue-driven agenda that included political giving, domestic positioning, international positioning and aligning with other organizations focused on policy, science, the arts and charity/philanthropy.
Result: The organization and its senior management team established productive working relationships with the president’s cabinet secretary, various White House officials and members of Congress during negotiations on top level domestic and international issues.
