This is what others have to say about Ray LeBov's seminars:Ray's information is an absolute necessity for anyone who interacts with the state legislature. These seminars took years off my learning curve, and I even picked up tips that most lobbyists would never share! I think lobbyists, legislators and employers would appreciate dealing with someone that has gone through one of Ray's seminars on lobbying. He gives the do's and dont's, and very useful tips that will help me be more successful. This class should be required for anyone interacting with legislators and their staff. Ray plays it straight, and tells you where the gold can be found, and where all the landmines are. - Tara Haas, Director of Government Relations, Engineering & Utility Contractors Association The legislative process is complex, tricky and full of avoidable pitfalls and obstacles. No oneknows the ins and outs of that process better than Ray LeBov. He will show you how to get your message across to the right people, at the right time, to get the results you need for your clients. Ray is a grandmaster at the art and science of lobbying. His workshops give you the opportunity to learn from the best of the best! - J. Clark Kelso, Professor of Law & Director, Capitol Center for Government Law & Policy, University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law |
