THE WASHNAV PERSPECTIVE

Washington Navigators is a specialized lobbying firm serving colleges, universities, and nonprofits. Our clients include large public universities, minority-serving institutions, emerging research institutions, athletic conferences, and national associations.

The “noise level” in Washington can be overwhelming, and the legislative process can be opaque and mysterious. In our many decades of combined experience in higher education leadership and advocacy, we have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly within our nation’s capital. We know how to navigate the ever-shifting political and policy winds of Washington, DC.

Founding partners, Scott and Bill, understand higher education inside and out. They work directly with administrative and academic leaders, bringing to the table a wealth of expertise in science, technology, national security, and innovation—in addition to extensive knowledge of the federal legislative process and the key players on Capitol Hill and in the Administration.

In the nation’s capital, WashNav will be your policy advocates, political experts, and trusted partners.
