Association TRENDS Previews “Factors of Influence”

Monday, October 14th, 2013 by Geoffrey Lyons

ASSOCIATION TRENDS, another division of Columbia Books, has published a preview of its annual report titled “Factors of Influence of Lobbying Firms.”  From the article:

Since 2010, Association TRENDS has been performing an annual analysis of government affairs firms on several “factors of influence” to help determine which firms are the most influential with respect to public policy….Government affairs firms were scored on 12 factors of influence that we believe contribute to the firm’s overall level of influence, including conventional metrics, such as total income and number of clients, as well as a host of more robust metrics, some of which are detailed in this article.

Van Scoyoc, Podesta, and Cassidy & Associates feature on this year’s list of top scoring firms.  See who else made the list  here.
