# A Checklist for Navigating the National Advocacy Landscape

Many education companies are searching for ways to better navigate the ever-changing policy environments from state to state. Guidance, planning, and thoughtful identification of aligned advocates who understand the educational and legislative landscape are essential to a successful journey.

Strategos Group’s National Advocacy Management (NAM) practice provides a comprehensive, personalized strategy for education organizations looking to maximize their *visibility*, *access*, and *voice.* NAM’s multi-layered approach provides the foresight to enter new market niches before saturation, offering the wisdom to know when to pivot from less advantageous environments into those that align best.

**“It’s important to set up an accountability system to ensure your government affairs investments are being properly used.”**

## Don't hike the legislative trail alone.

## Let Strategos be your guide.

Education policy is unique to other industries, and partnering with advocates who understand the complexities of the process is critical to success. Led by early learning advocate and former Florida State Representative Vance Aloupis, Strategos Group’s NAM practice offers customized strategies for education companies seeking to implement a multi-state advocacy approach.

**“Managing government affairs is like hiking. You need to know where the mountains and rivers are and how to get from point A to point B. It’s not wandering out into the forest and hoping you reach your destination.”**
