A successful government affairs team understands the unique language and culture of government and has relationships with the individuals whose hands are on the levers of power. What sets NorthStar apart is that we are strategic advisors first and foremost. We are proud of our issue analysis, strategy development, and outcome-oriented plan execution for our clients. We employ a team approach that facilitates frequent, personalized interaction.

Running an industry trade association is essentially running a small business, where every member is one of your customers. That hands-on approach defines NorthStar’s Association Management practice. We have substantial experience running both back-room and external operations; we have successfully established new associations and led the complete overhaul of stagnated ones.

Development - also known as fundraising - is an essential component of corporate, charitable, and political operations. The NorthStar team has successfully planned and executed fundraising campaigns at the local, state and national level for political candidates of both parties, large corporate foundations, civic organizations, and non-profits.

The key to a successful convention, both corporate and political, is the development and implementation of a comprehensive event plan that outlines all needs, goals and expectations for the event. NorthStar’s team includes experienced meeting planners who have planned and executed meetings and conventions of all sizes around the United States.

Infrastructure projects, whether public works or private developments, invariably cause a disruption in the community where they are being built. Project support & acceptance from stakeholder - including residents, community groups, elected officials, businesses and the media - is key to the success of the project itself. The NorthStar team has managed outreach operations for some of the largest and most complicated infrastructure projects in New Jersey and has been extremely successful due to its “hands-on” approach.
