Is your organization trying to work with government to resolve issues?
Now, more than ever, there are real opportunities (and a very urgent need) to get your government relations right.
There's political uncertainty at every level of government, with both politicians and the bureaucracy hesitant and unclear about what the agenda ought to be. There may be no better time than now, to make sure that your issues are on the agenda for action.
Maybe there is pending legislation that could affect the performance of your industry.
Or, perhaps you are concerned about government funding or capital projects.
The decisions being made by government will have an impact on your goals and performance.
Leonard Domino and Associates announces a special training:
"Working with Government"
“Everything you need to know to effectively build relationships and successfully negotiate with the government”
On Friday, October 29th, 2010 at the University Club of Toronto
9:00am to 4:30pm
(380 University Avenue, Toronto, ON)
Agenda
Len Domino will lead the training with an adult learning approach, including case studies, group interaction, and real life examples to deliver the following materials:
• The Who’s Who of Government
• Best practices for obtaining meetings with elected officials
• How to conduct successful meetings with the government
• The Win / Win Approach to Resolving Issues with Government

• How to Use Political Fundraisers Appropriately as a Part of Your Strategy
What You Will Learn At This Training:
Learn from over 40 years of Len Domino’s experiences working with political parties and governments – at all levels, of all stripes.
The world has changed. Old style, backroom lobbying may be doing more damage than good to your organization’s efforts – and its reputation.
Organizations want issues resolved.
Governments are looking to hear your voice and opinions on the issues that matter.
You must be able to strategically access the government – you need the tools, knowledge, and best practices to get your organization to achieve success.
This training is essential for anyone who interacts with the government.
We will equip your senior management with the proven tools, strategies, and approaches that you need when dealing with the bureaucrats and politicians.
Who Should Attend This Training?
The materials will be delivered at an executive level for Executive Directors, CEOs, Senior Managers, and Board Members.
- Senior executives need to know what works and what doesn’t. Learning the best practices of government relations means that you can help guide your organization, staff, and board on approaches that are proven to work; while avoiding wasted time and resources going down the wrong path.
- For individuals who have recently taken on Government Relations responsibilities, this training is essential to orientate yourself around how government works. And, you will learn the best practices to work with the government to achieve success with the issues that you are attempting to resolve.
- Every board member will benefit by developing their skill-set around the do’s and don’ts when communicating with the government. There is nothing more self destructive than internal disputes on how to move forward. A consistent approach delivered by a board in harmony can achieve the results you are seeking.
- If you’ve attended one of our trainings in the past, the course materials have been updated and have evolved to reflect the current political climate, which is critical knowledge for your strategic planning around the government.
