Why would our organization hire “Working with Congress?”
WWC provides training to organizations and individuals that have an interest in Congress or wish to become more active in the legislative process.

We educate about the political environment on Capitol Hill, the competing interests in Washington and help our clients formulate effective strategies for communicating and working with Members of the House, Senate and their staffs.

Whether you are bringing members to Washington for a Capitol Hill blitz, preparing your executives for meetings with members of the House and Senate, getting ready to testify before a congressional committee or determining how best to mobilize a legislative coalition, WWC can provide you with valuable training.

What do you mean by “customized” seminars?
Our goal is to create seminars that best serve the legislative needs of our clients. Prior to starting any formal training, we will sit down with your organization and establish the goals and desired outcomes for the seminar.

We provide our clients with 12 broad topic areas from which to select those most important to them. We then create half-day, full-day or multiple day seminars that both educate participants about Congress and helps them prepare to participate effectively in the legislative process.

Do you only teach in Washington, DC?
No. Since our seminars are customized for each of our clients, we have the flexibility to conduct the training in Washington, DC or travel to a specific site of the organization's choosing.

WWC can provide seminars at your annual conferences, provide specialized training to key executives at company headquarters, prepare trade association members for a legislative blitz on Capitol Hill, prepare federal executives for congressional delegation visits to their facilities or any other training your organization may need when dealing with Congress.

Why would we need WWC if we already have a congressional affairs office working with our organization?
For us, education is the key. The better-educated members of your organization are about the realities of Capitol Hill and the political dynamics of the legislative process, the stronger your organization is bound to be when dealing with the Senate and the House of Representatives.

This is not to say every individual in your organization needs to be communicating with congressional offices, but members of your organization, if apprised of your overall legislative strategies and equipped with a practical understanding of the political environment, can provide invaluable information and support to your congressional affairs office.

Furthermore, trade associations, corporations and non-profit organizations have a wealth of constituent contacts throughout the nation. If properly prepared and educated, these constituents can have a powerful impact on their own members of the House and Senate.

The key is knowledge, and that is what we provide.
