Our firm boast over 75 years of combine experience in the halls of the Capitol.
We also have experience representing non-profits and not-for-profits and understand the unique challenges of organizations whose primary goal is to serve others; not to make profits.
Our focus is always on the client. This means we will work with our clients to determine their legislative goals, then develop a specialized governmental affairs program. This program often includes a professionally coordinated grassroots program which allows the client to target specific objectives. Additionally, we assist our clients in developing relationships early in the legislative process by training their membership in campaigns and issue activities to provide for a more successful outcome.
Public Affairs Consultants won't simply report items of interest to you that will appear in the newspaper. Our skilled team is tuned-in to budget and policy directions that may be shifting in the House and Senate, as well as how those changes could impact your industry. It's our business to know these trends before they are widely reported. That gives us, and our clients, a strategic advantage.
PA Consultants would be honored to represent your company. We believe in quality over quantity, therefore we are selective in the clients we represent and never take a client where there may be a conflict of interest.
When you work with Public Affairs Consultants, you receive personalize, professional services. We take pride in what we do, and always give 110% to our clients. You won't find a harder working firm in Tallahassee.
Our team members are available to you any day of the week, any time of the day. Your Executive Director will have our cellular phone numbers and can reach us by email and text messages as well. Communications is the key to our success and we will believe in keeping you educated on all the happenings in Tallahassee, and throughout the state. To keep communication open, we will supply reports in your preferred format as often as needed.
Our standard practice is to e-mail updates as soon as committee meetings have completed their agendas. Additionally, written weekly legislative updates are e-mailed to the any executive committee and/or board members requested.
