GOVERNMENT RELATIONS
JLH Consulting specializes in health care and education issues representing public and private nonprofit organizations and corporations. We engage the policymaking community on your behalf.
We have designed a unique model to gain acceptance of issues that require passage by public referendum or by a governing body. We achieve success by blending well-developed political skills with traditional public relations techniques. Our track record of success is a result of our unwavering commitment to the priorities of our clients, innovative problem solving, and creative initiatives.
We help our clients shape favorable policy by drafting the legislation and amendments, providing testimony before legislative committees and government agencies, and leveraging relationships with key policymakers at all levels.

RULES & REGULATIONS
The policymaking process can be difficult to navigate. We are experienced in the procedures, rules, and protocol for work in the legislature and administrative agencies.
Once a statute is enacted, state agencies begin the process of rules and regulations development. Oftentimes, the rules and regulations can have a more direct impact on your profession than the state law. We are adept in guiding organizations through the process and preparing them to testify on regulatory issues before state agencies. We often appear on behalf of our clients.
ISSUE MANAGEMENT
We define policy issues important to your organization, align objectives, create goals, and engineer a roadmap to success. Through gathering the right information to make the best possible case for your issues as well as knowing what is behind the opposition's position, we are able to steer the policymaking process toward positive results.
MEMBER & LEADER INVOLVEMENT
Changing public policy is most successful when those who are directly impacted get involved. We know how to engage members and leaders in the policymaking process, whether it’s preparing for committee testimony, launching a call-to-action campaign, organizing “Capitol Hill Days,” or facilitating face to face interaction with legislators.
COMMUNICATIONS
We keep your members informed of the legislative and regulatory developments relevant to your industry and profession. Through up-to-the minute alerts, calls to action, and online tracking of legislation, members will be kept abreast of changes that matter to them.
FUNDRAISING & POLITICAl ACTION COMMITTEE
Political Action Committees (PAC) are an important tool that associations use to engage in the political arena. PACs offer a certain level of access to state and federal lawmakers when the legislature is not in session. Through them you can contribute to the election and re-election of those elected officials who see eye to eye with your association’s political agenda.
Compliance is a cornerstone of PAC operations and we make it a point to stay abreast of all rules and regulations and offer skilled management and fundraising services as well. We have created PACs for associations and seen them grow in size and influence. Currently, we have responsibility for three of the most financially successful healthcare PACs in Georgia.
