  8. Collaborative Advocacy • Family vs. Share Group vs. Coalition Models • Guiding Principles • JFK’s: Focus on what Unites Us not on what Divides Us • Interest sets and policy positions will not always align • Always keep the end, the objective, in mind • The poison of association politics • Understanding Relative Resources • Not everyone brings the same things to the table • Equality of commitment is what’s important • Trust & Respect despite size

  9. Collaborative Model • Family • NACS and state associations • (Almost) perfectly aligned interests • Synergistic power: resources + grassroots • Respect • Share Groups • NACS/API/SIGMA/PMAA/NATSO, GGAC • Common interest spheres • Information sharing, POSSIBLE position alignment • Back scratching potential • Coalitions • MPC, LUST Taskforce • Common issue focus • Resource sharing, common position (but only on this issue) • Can be strange bed-fellows & relative resource contribution friction
