New York City has dozens of nationally and internationally recognized public policy organizations along with many influential philanthropic organizations. Plus, it has hundreds of academic centers producing important new thinking. In fact, the New York City area probably has more individuals working to affect public policy than any other American city outside of Washington, DC. While the region is well-served by organizations that help to bring together commercial communications professionals there hasn't been an organization helping connect communicators who are focused on public policy in New York City.

Communications professionals working in the public policy field are coming together to network and learn from one another in this first informal brown-bag lunch.

Our debut networking event will be a fairly informal with plenty of time for introductions. At some point, we will settle in with our lunches and talk about: "Are you planning on reaching out to the new administration and new Congress in your work? If so, how do you update your contact lists? Do you use a Washington Office? How do you advance your issues without lobbying?"
