How nonprofits can run the regulation maze
6/18/2001
Nonprofits can and should become expert lobbyists, advises the editor of this hands-on, practical guide. Editor Walter J. Pidgeon, Jr., speaking from his own experience as CEO of the successful nonprofit Wildlife Legislative Fund of America, leads readers through the maze of rules and regulations that sometimes intimidate or dissuade nonprofits from using the power of lobbying. Pidgeon offers expertise on developing an effective government affairs program and encourages nonprofits to overcome their fears of "murky IRS regulations." With the editor's guidance, (and by using the book's many checklists, forms, and instructional CD-ROM) nonprofits will learn to create tailored lobbying-aware marketing and communication strategies, gain the know-how to build strategic partnerships, gain an insider's familiarity with local, state, and federal government structures, find out what's legal (and what isn't) when lobbying, and become truly strategic.
