Client Services
Federal Landscape Assessment
WSW provides you with a clear, unbiased view of your organization’s potential opportunities for success – before you commit your valuable resources and time to a long-term plan of engagement. We evaluate your needs, attempt to match them with existing or pending opportunities, and give you a comprehensive evaluation. In such a competitive arena, it’s critical to know upfront where you stand before taking action.
Forging Partnerships
Whether it’s for a policy or funding initiative, it’s imperative to leverage your relationships to improve your chances of achieving your goals. That’s why WSW actively searches for – and helps develop – possible relationships for your organization among our existing clients, as well as many other corporate, government, and non-profit entities. This service especially benefits companies with limited contacts in Washington.
Legislative Tracking and Analysis
WSW evaluates and tracks pending legislation to determine its prospects for passing, ascertains the possible stumbling blocks, and evaluates the impact it could have on your organization. We also follow enacted legislation as it winds through the regulatory process, help you provide written comments to relevant agencies, and meet with the appropriate agency officials to shape implementation.
Hearing and Markup Service
With this service, WSW presents summaries of hearings and markups in real-time, noting whether issues important to your organization were mentioned or discussed. This information can mean the difference between missing an opportunity to engage a key committee or failing to recognize and react to potential problems.
Day on the Hill
Would your organization like to send a delegation to Washington to promote or educate policymakers about a particular issue? While this can be a terrific idea, it also can present a challenge for you. WSW can handle the logistics and planning for your organization, including scheduling visits on Capitol Hill, finding speakers, preparing background-briefing materials on Congressional Members, and delivering support every step of the way.
WSW E-News
Receive timely information regarding federal legislative and administrative activities that could impact your organization or industry. Issued every Tuesday while Congress is in session, the WSW E-News Update provides an insiders’ guide that highlights and explains the issues being considered by Congress and the Executive Branch for that week.
WSW G-News
Stay ahead of the curve about the latest federal grant opportunities with the WSW G-News Updates. These newsletters showcase new rounds of competitive grants under existing programs, as well as emerging opportunities. Your organization can develop a better understanding of when and where federal dollars are available, and for what purposes.
WSW Statehouse on the Potomac
For your organization to reach its goals in Washington, it’s vital to have a solid relationship with your federal elected officials. Part of this requires an understanding of what issues most concern your Congressional Members, and then identifying opportunities to partner with them on mutually beneficial initiatives. Our Statehouse on the Potomac Reports provide detailed information each month regarding recent Congressional legislative activities for those in select states.
Speakers & Conference Panels
Due to the far-ranging expertise of the WSW team, individual members often receive requests to speak at conferences or events regarding the legislative process or specific policy issues.
As a firm that believes in educating others about these often complex but important matters, we welcome these opportunities. Please contact WSW with your speaking request.
