Because Canada’s complex lobbying and government relations landscape is always changing, this popular CSAE monograph has been significantly updated and expanded.

This book is designed for association staff and board members who need to engage government to resolve member issues. The objective is to provide readers with a simple, straightforward understanding of how to achieve results when dealing with government.

Excerpt: Associations form to enable individuals, or similar businesses, to achieve common goals. Government relations activities undertaken by associations provide members with a greater voice in government decision making and ultimately protect member interests. When dealing with the increasingly complex world of government regulation and legislation, it makes sense that collective action has a far greater chance of getting tangible results.

Effective working relationships is essential in multi-faceted, not-for-profit organizations where chapters, affiliates, districts, branches, etc. often fight for limited resources and attention. In this environment, turf wars are inevitable, right? Wrong.

Excerpt: For a long time, it seemed to me that the best we could do was mitigate the worst effects of conflict, competition, and the downright bad relationships that all too often afflicted the sector. People tended to write things off to factors such as regional dynamics and internal politics, as if to say that the lack of internal cohesiveness was simply something that leaders had to live with, instead of being an issue to be vigorously addressed. Unfortunately, that mindset sometimes led to a kind of resigned shrugging of the shoulders — a sense that you just had to put up with this.
