ABOUT THE 109 GROUP

The 109 Group is a full service association management, government affairs, and business consulting firm dedicated to creating a favorable climate for our clients in the statutory, regulatory, and operational environments in which they operate.

​

ASSOCIATION MANAGEMENT

Many associations are organized and managed by industry volunteers passionate about their professions. While the passion of these volunteers is admirable, many associations do not have the expertise and background to properly manage the organization due to other business commitments. Government affairs, political action committees, meeting planning, member recruitment, grant writing, accounting and legal services, continuing education, and publications are just a few responsibilities that associations are generally tasked with. All of these elements can be overwhelming for volunteers to manage.

​

The 109 Group offers organizations experience across the association spectrum. From advancing your organization's interest in the Missouri General Assembly to planning a highly effective and engaging annual conference and everything in between, The 109 Group leverages relationships, experience, and vast resources to propel your organization to new levels.

​

GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS

One of the primary responsibilities of an association is to advocate for favorable statutes and regulations that improve the ability of their members to practice their trade. Legislative revisions could be helpful or harmful. Legislation and its supporters and opponents shape public policy to the benefit or detriment of those that are engaged. The 109 Group serves as your voice in the Capitol to elected officials, staff, and interested stakeholders.

​

Our full suite of government affairs services includes legislative analysis, bill drafting, sponsor recruitment, coalition development, political action committee coordination/management, testimony preparation and presentation, and a host of other items that complement the diverse interests of our clients. From concept to completion, The 109 Group effectively advocates on your behalf as your resource to members of the Missouri House, the Missouri Senate, and executive offices and agencies spanning the entire spectrum of Missouri government.

​

Our team is committed to advancing your interests ethically and in concert with our clients needs.

​
