Welcome to MultiState's Stakeholder Engagement News, where we share actionable insights from policymaker and policy influencer groups that you can use to advance your state government relations and advocacy goals. MultiState's Stakeholder Engagement Practice helps clients develop a strategic plan for engaging with policymaker and policy influencer organizations — groups that can move the needle in policy discussions across the country. Policymaker organizations are national or regional entities for different types of public officials, and working with them is often referred to as “intergovernmental affairs” because of their unique position at the intersection of federal, state, and local government.
