Specialists as Industry Watchdogs

Changes to a bill, regulation or standard can create an opportunity or a setback for your association and its members. Combined with efforts to sway public and industry opinions surrounding these changes, your organization may be left vulnerable without keeping a close eye on third-party groups seeking to effect change. Kellen staff are actively engaged, serving as watchdogs to detect and monitor activities of governments, industries and competing organizations that may impede or promote your association’s interests.
