Government Affairs and Advocacy

Kautter Wenhold Management Group — A Professional Association Management Company 

One of the main benefits of belonging to an association or organization is that your group is looking out for your interests at the federal and state governments.  Kautter Wenhold Management Group is unique compared to most other AMC’s because our CEO has been a federally registered lobbyist for over 27 years and helped co-author the code of ethics for the federal lobbying community. 

Dave Wenhold, CAE, PLC, has also been the President of the national association for the lobbying community and been at the forefront of advocacy in both direct and grassroots lobbying.  He has run over 100 campaigns that range from advocating of more closed captioning for the deaf and hard-of-hearing Americans, to smart health care reforms, to getting funding for new attack submarines and aircraft carries, to helping get elephants out of circuses, to helping small businesses avoid costly government programs, and many more issues.

Many clients find this aspect of partnering with KWMG beneficial even if they have their own legislative counsel. Dave can help our client organizations manage their relationships with their outside counsel and can add resources and legislative intelligence to help our clients be even more effective with their initiatives in the state and federal governments. Additionally, clients use KWMG’s legislative experience to find and vet new state lobbyists for their needs.

Dave has been featured in Time, Forbes, Dan Rather Reports, CNN, Fox News, National Journal, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, C-SPAN, Politico, The Hill, Roll Call and many more news outlets that have utilized Dave as a resource for issues pertaining to lobbying.

we are here so your association can thrive
