OUTREACH ACTIVITIES
In some instances, legislative issues have a more far-reaching effect than simply how your business runs; they can affect how Americans live. In cases like these, the best way of affecting change and influence is by developing grass-roots activities through cooperative efforts of local businesses and associations to ensure that messages and issues are heard in those districts throughout the country where it matters most. Madison Services Group provides an array of outreach activities for its clients including initiatives and programs proposed by Congress.
PROCUREMENT ACTIVITIES
A critical part of developing business with the government requires a comprehensive understanding of the federal landscape. Building on experience working with agencies and developing program's to help small businesses succeed in government contracting, MSGI has developed its Next Win Services to work with individual companies.
