Proven, Substantive Homeland Security Lobbying
Carmen Group specializes in helping clients navigate and lobby the complex new Department of Homeland Security. Much confusion and even more opportunity surrounds the most comprehensive government reorganization since WWII. In 25 years of proven lobbying success, we have worked with most of the 22 component agencies and have practical experience in each specialty area, as well as immediate access to networks of expert support in even the most arcane areas. In addition, we have former congressional staff that drafted and negotiated portions of the statute that created the department. More importantly, we have senior leadership that understands how to manage the many issues that cut across specialty areas and how to anticipate and position clients for major policy shifts. Our unique business process sets us apart from other firms in terms of innovation, execution and accountability.
