DEVELOPING & STAFFING YOUR POLICY SHOP
Whether you are launching a policy department in your organization for the first time or considering how to augment or re-envision your existing policy shop, Maat Strategies can help. We will work collaboratively with you and your staff to design an infrastructure and staffing plan that will help you achieve the policy reform outcomes you seek. Maat Strategies can help to design a staffing framework and organizational best practices for policy work that will maximize your success. With 20 + years of policy advocacy experience, Maat Strategies has built a comprehensive network of communications strategists, federal- and state-based contract lobbyists, criminal legal experts, influencers and more, and can help your policy shop to forge connections that promise to bolster your policy work.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ON POLICY CAMPAIGNS
Maat Strategies can also work with your policy staff to assist with specific policy campaigns at the federal, state and local level, including identifying largescale strategies that can serve a multi-state campaign on the same issue. For specific issue-based campaigns, Maat Strategies will help to identify chokepoints that are preventing progress on existing efforts and work with your team to identify winning strategies for sustainable outcomes.
Maat Strategies can work with your organization to develop a strategic plan that is customized to your policy agenda. This blueprint will incorporate viable short-term and long-term federal, state, and/or local policy goals and identify a workplan with the key ingredients for successful — and sustained — social change. The workplan will include contemplation of a grassroots ground game, requisite coalition-building, under-the-dome legislative strategy, print and digital media assets, political landscape analysis, and more.
