The National Institute for Lobbying & Ethics (NILE) announced that TriStrat's Paul Klein has been named a 2023 Top Lobbyist.
NILE creates an annual list that recognizes excellence in lobbying while ensuring the selection process is purely merit-based. A dedicated panel of judges blindly evaluates each nominee to guarantee that the honor of being a Top Lobbyist is earned solely through outstanding performance and dedication to their profession in the given year.
“This award celebrates the top in our profession this year,” stated Jocelyn Hong, NILE President. “This award recognizes those who have made significant contributions to those they represent, as well as those who have made a commitment to giving back through pro-bono work. Given the number of local, state, and federal lobbyists, grassroots, and PAC professionals, to be singled out by your peers for this award has real meaning,” added Hong.
The 2023 Top Lobbyist list is a diverse representation of the advocacy profession, featuring lobbyists, PAC professionals, and grassroots professionals who were nominated by their peers. These individuals have not only demonstrated their exceptional skills in advocacy but have also showcased innovation and thought leadership, earned high regard from their clients and peers, and actively contribute to their community through charity/pro-bono work. Their dedication, expertise, and commitment to ethical practices have made them exemplary representations of the profession.
