Former Congressman Marty Russo gives his unfiltered “no holds barred” insider views on what’s really happening in US politics and what it will take to get the government working again. With a tumultuous 2016 Presidential Election and a new dynamic emerging on Capitol Hill, are we on the cusp of a messy, but productive era where divided government can actually work, and legislation will start moving on important policy areas? Or will we fall further into paralyzing partisan dysfunction? Today, the neon road signs are flashing to signal an upcoming rush of political transitions. A new President and new Congress guarantee a new game in town. As a former Member of Congress and top lobbyist, Russo covers current politics with an emphasis on how organizations can navigate the Washington maze and make progress toward specific policy and advocacy outcomes. What’s the secret to developing influence in the new Washington? How do you position your interests to be ready for abrupt changes in power? And how can you support your champions to make deals that help your industry and strengthen America’s future.
Most associations hold an annual legislative conference to address important policy initiatives in Washington. Do you want your attendees fired up and ready to go before you send them to storm the Hill?

Drawing from his years in Congress and as a top lobbyist, Russo lays out the roadmap. Why should you care about what happens in Washington?
