Effective Lobbying: This document was written by a member of The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Inc. The section is adapted from a paper submitted for presentation at the 1998 IEEE-USA Professional Development Conference. I have included it in this collection as I think it is a relevant primer on the topic of effective lobbying.
