– Victoria L. Gresh,

CAE, Executive Director,

Ohio Physical Therapy Association (OPTA)

“As Ohio’s first and largest Authorizer, it was important to find a lobbying group that shared our passion for providing quality education options for Ohio’s children. Simply stated, Government Advantage Group is the most well rounded, diverse, experienced and hardest working lobbyists in Ohio. In our 20 years of partnership, they have been invaluable in helping us navigate the political waters on both sides of the aisle so that Ohio’s charter school students voices can be heard at the highest levels of government. They have traveled the state with us to meet with legislators, tour schools and have been instrumental in carrying forth our message to the General Assembly. It is obvious when you walk around The Statehouse that legislators on both sides of the aisle have great respect for The Government Advantage Group.”

– Lenny Schafer,

M.Ed., PCC-S, Executive Director,

Ohio Council of Community Schools

OWMA’s lobbying team at Government Advantage Group provides valued guidance on the complex issues that the association deals with at the legislative and state agency levels. It gives me peace of mind to know that even if I can’t be at the Statehouse, I have a reliable team there gathering information and being a trusted voice for the association.

– Beth Wymer,

Executive Director,

Ohio Wholesale Marketers Association (OWMA)

As Ohio’s largest not-for-profit provider of life plan communities and services, I believe Ohio Living has a responsibility to our communities to partner with our legislators throughout the State. This will assist our elected officials in exploring the aging services side of our health care delivery system and to be a resource for them when crafting regulations and policy which will affect those who we serve throughout Ohio. Government Advantage Group serves as a long-standing valued partner in this initiative as they serve as an effective conduit between us, as a health care provider, and our elected officials throughout the State. The legislative relationships we have formed over the years as a result of our partnership have been, and continue to be, invaluable
