"Robert L. Guyer's seminar on the Campaign Method to effective state advocacy was, perhaps, the best professional development experience of my career. Utilizing the Campaign Method, our membership secured passage of legislation that placed Ohio’s ESCs firmly at the center of regional education delivery and preserved our funding appropriation during a difficult economic downturn. I highly recommend Bob Guyer."

“I often travel across the country to lobby various state legislatures. Robert Guyer’s Lobby School gave me the added confidence and competitive advantage that I needed when advocating on issues. His campaign-style approach to lobbying helps break the art of lobbying into a common sense process. Whether you’re an old pro or just starting out, Bob Guyer’s Lobby School will prove invaluable for your career”.
