Relationship Management

The focus of any successful advocacy effort can always be found in relationship building and strategic dialogue.  By effectively “connecting the dots” and building solid partnerships among like-minded individuals, MLC can support your progress toward critical policy objectives.

• Capitol Presence
  Our years of experience have enabled us to not only know all of the 148 legislators personally, but also the hundreds of staff people who work in the Legislature, the Executive Office, the various state departments, and the judicial branch of government.  We are constantly in and around the Capitol nurturing these existing relationships and developing new ones.  We will utilize these relationships and build new alliances in an effort to support your goals. 
  
  
• Meeting Coordination
  Our office is only one and a half blocks from the Capitol and can serve as a meeting place for you and key policymakers and staff.   MLC staff can work to facilitate scheduling, food and beverage service, audiovisual needs, and other logistical issues on your behalf. 
  
  Our facilities can also accommodate smaller private lunch or dinner groups when needed.  It is also your “Lansing headquarters” with office space, full computer and video services and a professional staff at your disposal. 
  
  
• Coalition Management 
  MLC can provide necessary support and expansion of your legislative coalition.  You and your partners will benefit from high-quality issue management, meeting facilitation, administrative support and more.  MLC is also able to help you manage and handle internal coalition conflicts as they arise, thanks to years of experience in this area. 
  
  
• B2B Strategic Partnerships
  Your key business relationships should extend beyond basic legislative alliances.  MLC can work with you to build your business network and develop strategic partnerships that allow you implement innovative solutions within the 21^st-Century marketplace.
