AALEP IS NUMBER ONE IN GR CONTINUING EDUCATION

At its best, lobbying provides critical services to organizations and clients and critical client information to public office holders. Those services include acting as a strategic resource by researching regulatory or policy changes, understanding the government’s policy agenda, determining who the decision makers will be on any given matter, developing positive relationships with the media, communication planning, mobilizing grass roots, coaching and mentoring, setting up and attending meetings, outlining unintended consequences of existing and planned policies, and sustaining communication momentum. 

AALEP has developed a Catalogue of over 100 Courses related to Government Relations. Courses fall in each of the following areas of practice:  

1. DIRECT LOBBYING
2. GRASSROOTS
3. FUNDRAISING AND EFFECTIVELY MANAGING THE MONEY
4. COMMUNICATIONS AND THE MEDIA
5. ISSUE MANAGEMENT
6. RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
7. RELATIONSHIP BUILDING (LEGISLATIVE, REGULATORY, COALITIONS)

Each course addresses 3 distinct Knowledge Levels: Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced

Each course states the Learning Objectives or Learning Outcomes that clearly describe what the Learner will know or be able to do as a result of having attended and completed the course.

Evaluation (or Learning Assessment) is based on the stated Learning Objectives of each course
