With the interim (hopefully) finally on the horizon, we’ve had considerable interest in a refresher on the Texas lobbying and advocacy rules and laws. Our Lobby 101 Webinar is a practical program designed to sharpen your understanding of the state’s legislative and regulatory advocacy landscape. Whether you’re new to the profession or a seasoned government affairs professional, this session will reinforce the fundamentals while also highlighting recent updates to ethics laws and rules that every advocate should know. Submit specific questions you'd like to have covered here.
