GABI was invited to deliver a guest lecture at Korea National Defense University on the role of lobbying and advocacy in the U.S. policymaking process. The lecture provided an overview of how Washington’s policy community operates, including the relationship among Congress, the executive branch, industry, think tanks, advocacy organizations, and other stakeholders. It also explored how organizations effectively communicate their priorities, build relationships with policymakers, and contribute to the policy process. The discussion offered students a practical perspective on how policy decisions are shaped in Washington and the importance of strategic communication, relationship-building, and public affairs in the U.S. political system.
