PACE provides government relations services to a wide array of clients. Among the industry sectors for whom PACE provides Washington representation are:
A consistent element of strategic plans is a comprehensive legislative program including advocacy, analysis and intelligence. PACE is richly experienced in drafting and enacting legislation on behalf of our clients and working with key Members of Congress and their staffs.
Increasingly, successful governmental affairs strategies turn on the action of federal and state agencies. There is often more advocacy involved in the drafting of regulations than there was in the writing of the statute that required the regulations. Given recent mandates to pursue privatization and creative public-private sector partnerships, PACE has increasingly been working with a number of federal agencies to ensure that high standards of successful business practices are adopted by these agencies.
Effective communication strategies may involve the broadcast media, printed press, trade journals and other industry-specific publications. PACE has principals deeply experienced and skilled in all aspects of the effective use of communications for a client's benefit. The firm has successfully developed and managed press relations programs, including the placement of op/ed pieces, in support of our Congressional and agency advocacy programs.
Complex relationships between business and government entities sometimes require coalitions formed around a common goal. PACE has the skills and experience to develop grass-roots programs, create these coalitions and make them work for the client.
It is impossible to operate in Washington, D.C. without the capability of developing political support for policy makers who support the policy objectives of our clients. For this reason, PACE has worked with each of our clients to help develop political support programs for key members of Congress. These programs include the development of grass roots initiatives, fundraising assistance, constituent assisted meetings and facilitating in-district activities.
New market opportunities are emerging due to government partnering efforts and new privatization programs. This is an area where the firm's comprehensive approach pays off. Frequently, we can assist our clients in achieving their goals through a public-private or private entity. PACE works to identify these public-private and private opportunities and bring them to clients.
PACE provides strategic placement and privatization services: PACE utilizes the intelligence it gathers from the political and financial worlds and creates market opportunities for our clients. In sum, PACE works aggressively and comprehensively for the highest possible return for the client.
