Lobbying is a popular career choice for retiring state legislators. Lobbying allows them an opportunity to use the experience and issue expertise they've built over their time in the legislature to continue to advocate for causes they believe in.

Former legislators-turned-lobbyists will share:

• Barriers and opportunities experienced when transitioning from legislator to lobbyist
• The state restrictions for legislators turned lobbyist
• Experiences and encounters they had as a legislator with lobbyists that they chose to emulate now and what is their own personal touch from the other side
• What did they wish they had known about the role of the lobbyist when they were a legislator and if they would have navigated that relationship differently

Hearing from the former legislators regarding what they found valuable about trusted private-sector advocates during their public service, and what influenced them to pursue a career a a lobbyist themselves just may help you navigate your relationships in a more effective way.

Speakers:
