What can the Lobby School do for you?

The Lobby School was founded to enable its participants to improve their chances of changing their states' legal environments.
A state legislature can either enrich you or impoverish you; it can prevent or permit your actions and those of others. Which are you going to let happen? We can help you get an appropriation or legislation to advance your group’s interests or disadvantage a key competitor. You do not have to accept the status quo.

Previous Seminar Attendees
For most practical purposes, a legislature can do whatever it wants, to you or for you.
Our custom lobbying skills seminars can be built around your issues and given at a time and place of your convenience. We have trained corporations, associations, and ad hoc coalitions, employees and association members, with skills that have brought them success with legislators and executive agencies.

  • We will help you gain an objective evaluation of your lobbying situation.
  • Suggestions for developing a legislative plan to deal with your particular situation.
  • Receive a FREE summary of the points a lobbyist needs to know.
  • There is no commitment, just a quick conversation to overview your needs and to see where we can assist you.

Bob Guyer's course contributed substantially to my lifelong study of advocacy and was the best CLE accredited course that I have taken, bar none, in my 39 years as a government relations consultant.

While I am a lobbying veteran, the workshop and book provided me with a fresh perspective on advocacy. Mr. Guyer's clear structure and methodology for an effective lobbying campaign added to my own effectiveness with the legislature contributing to me being ranked one of the five best lobbyists in the state of Florida.
