Business Development & Procurement
A significant marketplace, government supported with a comprehensive governmental relations program can be a growth opportunity for your organization. J. Kheder Associates is skilled at guiding its clients through all levels of government - whether the organization is large or small, private or nonprofit, publicly traded or Main Street, or even another governmental, or quasi-governmental agency. The basics remain the same: knowledge of the customer and environment, including understanding the "language" of government; developing a realistic strategy, which includes commitment by all parties; identification and cultivation of a relationship based support system; and a thoughtful, yet driven, delivery of a strategic plan.
Advocacy
With J. Kheder Associates, lobbying and advocacy begins with a thorough environmental scan for our client; developing a business case and corresponding plan; identifying key relationships within the client's organization and targeted governmental bodies; and diligently affecting the desired outcome. Ultimately, having a seat at the decision making table is key, but positive outcomes require starting with a clear understanding of the issues, goals, and objectives.
Political Events & Programs
The ever present reality within the political process, whether at the local, state or federal levels, is the need for a strategic political program, which may include: Political Action Committees (PAC), fundraisers, or events to develop "presence" within the process - all, ever more important in a term limited environment. J. Kheder Associates has expertise in developing, planning, and implementing high visibility programs targeting legislators, political parties, media organizations, industries and individuals - large and small. Again, the main principles apply: knowledge, planning, implementation, drive, and relationships.

Kheder Associates employs the same basic concepts to manage control of issues that matter to your organization: understanding the environment, developing a strategy, identifying key relationships and partners, and executing a strategy with planning, cohesiveness, and purpose.
