Be Ready for 2025

Back To News

Picture this: it’s February 2025 and you’ve finally scored a meeting with a key new member of Congress. You’ve done the prep work and you’re ready with handouts explaining your top policy priorities. You wait in a long security line to get into the Cannon House Office Building, and once you’re inside, you navigate around other visitors and staff to get to their office. It’s busier than usual, and you find that there are two groups ahead of you waiting to meet with this member—both armed with their own memos and handouts and ready to explain why their top issue should also be the member’s priority. 

How are you supposed to stand out when everyone in D.C. is trying to do the same exact thing? 

This January, Washington, D.C. will be hit with a triple whammy of change—a new administration, a new Congress and new state legislatures across the country. Here at the Glen Echo Group, we’re expecting big changes in policy priorities across the government—but what does that mean for you and your organization? A myriad of stakeholders will all be vying for a seat at the table, and as we like to say, if you’re not sitting at the table, you’re on the menu. 

You need to think about how to make your voice heard in 2025 – and the Glen Echo Group is here to help.
