EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The mission of Public Affairs Associates, Inc. is to serve each client as if it is our only client. PAA
provides the highest quality lobbying and policy management services while maintaining the utmost
ethical standards. Experience. Knowledge. Innovation. These critins1 elpmpritq fif-i-ve as the cornerstone
of our business at Public Affairs Associates, Inc.
Founded in 1971 by Francis J. Coomes and Emil Lockwood, CPA, a former State Senate Majority
Leader, FAA has earned the confidence and trust of clients seeking governmental relatiors counseling.
FAA is a full-service governmental relations firm serving corporations, trade. csneintinns, public
entities, and individual professionals in manufacturing, health care, insurance, finance, entertainment,
education, and other iqNtle gpecialtips.
For over thirty-five years, FAA is consistently recognized as one of the State 's top lobbying firms. We
take pride in this honor, because we believe it validates our commitment to our mission: to be the best
and most effective governmental consulting firm in Michigan.
From battling for or against legislation in the hall 's of the Capitol, to negotiating with departments over
regulations and policies, PAA offers creative strategic approaches to meet our client 's needs.
FAA has brought together a team of professionals who access every corner of state government. Our bi-
partisan approach ensures that our clients have strong working relationships with leaders from both sides
of the aisle and key members of the Executive Branch of government.
PAA also prides itself in our ability to keep our clients informed on issues of importance to them, as
well as breaking news that affects the climate in Lansing. Using Pi ,iPTivery, PA-A supplies bill
-tracking and information services, special reports on major issues, specific activity reports, and a weekly
newsletter 'to our clients. These services can be tailored to meet your specific iriformatim and timing
needs.
We also understand that face to face communication with the client is critical. We urge our clients to
establish a routine meeting schedule to ensure that the targets and objectives are clear, and that the
action plan is being followed. Our client communication plan also includes attending any and all
meetings to report on activities associated with the client 's government affairs activities.
PAA also maintains relationships with Michigan's Congressional delegation. When called for we can
assist our clients in communicating with our Washington delegation on our issues of importance.
Our Lansing office is located in the. heart of the capitol city. Our convenient location to the Capitol,
Executive office, and state departments makes for an efficient meeting place for our clients before
beginning a day in Lansing.
CLIENT SERVICES
PAA pledges to serve each client as Wit is our only client. And while that may seem idealistic, it's a
commitment we take as seriously as the issues we confront.
PAA believes in a team approach to problem solving. Each client is assigned a IrliIth1111111 of two
professionals to develop and manage the clients action plan, and Whi'n TifMed Etarll client has available
the fa resources of our professional staff which represents over 100 years of political experience.
PAA takes pride in its comprehensive issues-management approach to client service. Whether it's a
special project requiring immediate attention OT the development and implementation of a long-term
plan, FAA considers the full array of actions for a client. This involves everything from research to
strategic planning to implementation. Furthermore, close working relationships with the state's top
public relations and law firms allow us to seek additional expertise on critical issues, as the need arises.
As part of our ongoing service, clients receive weekly and monthly customized reports about legislative
changes and updates on state legislation and regulatory activity. Another service we prmide to clients is
a weekly newsletter—the PAAdvisory. This publication offers a quick view of major issues, key
legislative announcements, staff changes and various other items of interest that have occurred during
the week.
Lobbying
An effective lobbyist can provide an essential link in the. making of law and the administration of
government. FAA's extensive knowledge of state and local political climates have yielded a solid tack
record of client success.
Today's legislative and public policy environment requires a comprehensive political, educational and
public relations plan responsive to the ever-changing relationship between government and those
seeking to impact it. The kind of lobbying strategy that has become PAA's specialty.
FAA believes that successful lobbying requires careful analysis of the client's goal and all public policy
issues related to that goal. This includes evaluating potential allies and opponents, as well as other
policy options available to attain the client's objective. The evaluation process also includes a
risk/benefit analysis of client objectives as they relate to public policy development.
This comprehensive approach enables the client and FAA to conduct a final review of the client's goals
and objectives, culminating in the development of an action plan, to achieve the desired outcome.
Finally, FAA and the client form a working partnership to execute the action plan.
"Once PAA agrees to serve a client, the client's goal becomes PAA's goal."
Direct Advocacy Lobbying
The old approach to lobbying, based almost exclusively on purely personal friendship, is becoming
obsolete—a trend accelerated by the new legislative and executive term limits. Within this new
environment, FAA has built and maintains a comprehensive set of relationships with all facets of
government.
PAA provides direct advocacy lobbying of legislators and executive personnel. This includes contact
with the House and Senate leadership and committee chairs, who have significant influence over the fate
of legislative issues.
Frequently, a client matter requires attention at the highest levels of government. PAA maintRins
regular contact with department directors, the Governor and her key staff to ensure that our client's
interests are heard and understood by those who have direct control over the outcome.
Grass-Roots Lobbying
At times, a lobbying strategy may require a client to reach "the masses" or targeted audiences in order to
influence public policy or legislation. At PAA, we design and implement grass-roots programs which
.focus on consensus building and action. Grass-roots lobbying may often include coordinating visits with
legislators, newspaper editorial boards, the circulation of petitions, direct mailings, and organizing
phone banks to influence public policy action. Additionally, using PAA's web site we can deliver
timely information to the grass-roots network on issue development, palhicaLstrategies rand timing of
contacts,
For example, when a coalition of non-profit organizations needed a tax credit for contributions, FAA
designed and implemented a grass-root lobbying strategy aimed at meeting the coalition's goal by
gaining the support of the media, legislature and Governor.
Following extensive research. FAA developed a series of documents, including a "white paper' to help
influence target audiences and organized petition drives to mobilize local citizens. This effort, combined
with the procurement of editorials and meetings with legislators and the Governor, added the necessary
energy to achieve success.
Issues Management/Strategy Development
A sound issues management strategy is one that's proactive, anticipating the myriad of events, activities
and obstacles that may influence a client's issue.
Comprehensive strategy development begins with an in depth discussion of the client's role and
relationship with government and includes an assessment of the client's goals in relation to public
policy.
This vital information exchange forms the basis of a communication and action plan which manages the
full speclrum of interests among the client, the public and government.
For example, an international manufacturer sought PAA 's service after experiencing a significant
breakdown in its relationships with state regulators. After an extensive audit of the client's
governmental contacts and regulators attitudes toward the client, FAA devised and implemented a
comprehensive strategy to improve relations with state and federal regulators,
F
Today, the client maintains a strong relationship with the state's regulatory arena and is recognized as
one of Michigan's leading corporate citizens. This relationship has allowed the corporation to propose
and execute new approaches to environmental problem solving, which has reduced costs and increased
efficiency for both the company arid the state agency.
Research
A little homework can often go a long way. That's why PAA strongly emphasizes ongoing research to
ensure the client and public policy makers are attuned to an issue. Research can include everything from
gathering information in order to help craft effective legislation to the development of fact sheets and
other materials for key legislators, community leaders, media and special audiences.
Examples of PAA 's research management range from producing academic papers concerning tax
policies to conducting public policy polling to move an issue forward. Using PAA 's internal staff and
external relationships with the state's best public relation firms and think tanks, we are able to assemble
the data necessary to generate the right information to move a policy debate in the right direction,
Public Relations
The media, community leaders, special-interest groups and other key audiences can play a critical role in
how an issue or policy is perceived and ultimately accepted.
Our ongoing relationchip with the state's top public relations firms complements our efforts in providing
comprehensive public and media relations plans to support a client's particular position or issue. This
may include everything from gaining community and government support for a hospital's proposed
Certificate of Need (CON) to developing a communication plan for a corporation interested in gaining
state and local support for it objectives.
Crisis Management
Any sound government affairs plan anticipates the need for crisis management. PAA urges our clients to
create an internal team to react to fast moving issues, which may affect the clients goals. Additionally,
our professional team has the ability to move quickly to impact a crisis situation and manage our client's
exposure.
For example, an industry group approached FAA for assistance after the House of Representatives had
already approved a substantial tax increase package. After canvassing key leaders in both Rouses of
the legislature and developing a position paper and media program, FAA was able to impact the
process and enable the industry to negotiate a reasonable and balanced conclusion to tile legislative
debate,
Coalition Management
The growth of special interests has strengthened the need to coordinate efforts in order to impact public
policy. Coalition management has become a necessary component of legislative strategy development.
PAA has successfully developed and managed coalitions to benefit our client's activities. Our efforts
include recruiting members, managing information, and directing legislative activities of coalitions.
For example, when a 25-year-old assessment valuation tax table for high-technology equipment became
ineffective, PM worked with a coalition of industry groups to persuade the Michigan Department of
Treasury and the Tax Commission that a change in assessment rates was necessary.
Through a series of hearings and meetings, one-on-one discussions and correspondence, the coalition
was highly influential in the State Tax Commission's favorable vote for new assessment rates,
Additionally, FAA was involved, along with the Michigan State Chamber of Commerce, in leading a
coalition of business and professional interests in changing the state's product liability standard,
similar coalition was successful in changing the state 's single business tax formula in 1996 allowing for
significant savings for _Michigan's industrial community.
Political Consultation
Most industries and associatinns that have a substantial executive and legislative presence either already
have or endeavor to establish a political action committee (PAC). PAA's services include advising
clients on how to create, operate and maintain PACs. This includes assistance with fund raising, and
compliance with all campaign finance laws and filings.
Compliance
PAA is strongly committed to conducting our business using the highest ethical and legal standards. To
that end, PAA has dedicated a staff position to ensure that we and our clients strictly conform to all
Michigan Lobby law requirements.
Issues Monitorin.garacking
With its broad, in-depth knowledge of state and federal legislative issues, PAA provides a monitoring
service offering immediate and factual information to help track policy issues or trends so clients are
able to make sound decisions_ This service involves a continuous process of information gathering and
analysis on all legislation that might affect the client's interest.
Reports are tailored for each of OUT clients to ensure that accurate, timely, and important information is
available for review. This includes bi-weekly legislative tracking reports, Friday flash reports of all
legislative introductions of interest, and reports on analysis and rules of importance to the client.
FAA Management
A board of directors made up of PA.A shareholders and directors governs PAA's strategic direction, in
addition to directors, PAA has formed a "board of advisors" rPri-craitiiag (tiverse group of business.
political and community leaders, who consult on a variety of strategic issues affecting the state's
