Monitoring and Research: Before a bill can be introduced or a budget item proposed, countless hours of preparation has been put into motion. Providence Strategies takes the guesswork out of where to start. We prepare custom materials to support our client’s short- and long-term goals. We research similar legislation from states with comparable political climates and analyze pending legislation or budget items, prioritizing our client’s needs to help them stay competitive. Government Relations and Lobbying: With thousands of bills introduced each year, 188 legislators, 13 standing committees in the House and Senate, and over 150 state agencies, commissions and counties, the Maryland legislative process is rooted in tradition and sophisticated in its details. Providence Strategies has a panoramic viewpoint of the state with experience to effectively advocate for your company or organization, because details matter, even from a distance. State Agency Liaison, Procurement, and State Funding: Providence Strategies is positioned and committed to effectively advocating for our clients.
