  • Introduction Lobbying and Advocacy
    Introduction This Legislative Handbook is designed to provide guidance and assistance to representatives of the New Jersey Association of Mental Health and Addiction Agencies, Inc. (NJAMHAA) member organizations who participate in legislative activities. Specifically, the Legislative Handbook presents the Association’s legislative policy and procedures, simplifies the complexities of the legislative process, and provides an orientation to grassroots lobbying for all members. On behalf of its members, NJAMHAA meets with legislators, policy makers and business leaders in order to influence legislative, regulatory and funding decisions in ways that have the most positive outcome on its members. Through increased visibility and a stronger presence, NJAMHAA ensures that members’ concerns are expressed and that their interests are represented. This allows members the peace of mind of knowing that legislative or regulatory changes that are made will occur with their views expressed. NJAMHAA is committed to facilitating meaningful exchange both within the Association and with other industry stakeholders to achieve mutual advocacy. While NJAMHAA aggressively lobbies state and federal legislators on behalf of its members, these lawmakers need to hear from you, their local constituents, those who elect them. The louder and stronger the voice, the more impact that it has on all who hear it. Please use and refer back to this valuable resource to familiarize yourself with legislative advocacy procedures and to contact key legislators to collectively join other NJAMHAA members in advancing the cause for an improved community behavioral health system. Lobbying and Advocacy Oftentimes, the words “lobbying” and “advocacy” are used interchangeably. The legal definition of lobbying usually involves attempting to influence legislation.

In his quarteriy conference call with Wall Street analysts while @Olting 01 results Arbitron CEO Bill Kerr gave his assessment of where radio revenues are heading this year. "We are reiterating our full year guidance for 2011. We continue to expect revenue growth '-----------------------' of 6-8% and earnings per share, diluted, of $1.90-2.05," Kerr said of what Wall Street should expect of Arbitron this year. "In terms of the radio industry as a whole," he continued, "we continue to see the 2010 rebound in radio ad revenue extended into the first quarter of 2011. It does appear, however, to be at a slower· rate than in the fourth quarter of 2010. After a very good fourth quarter with ad spending growing at 6-7% 2010 wrapped up with annual ad sales up around s-6%. In the first quarter of 2011 preliminary estimates by outside analysts indicate radio advertising revenue grew in the low single digits, which is in line with their expectations for the full year 2011. This is consistent with our view of the radio. industry, and while we welcome the continued upturn in ad revenue, we are still seeing signs of 'caution among our radio station customers," Kerr told the analysts.

    SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 2016 Sheriff hopefuls NEIGHBORS BRACE FOR dispute campaign HOSPITAL’S CLOSING donations By Adam Swift ITEM STAFF Campaign donations have become a hot-button issue in a crowded eld for the Democrat- ic nomination for Essex County Sheriff. “Since day one, I have not accepted donations from the police department or Sheriff’s Department,” said Lynn Police Chief Kevin Coppinger, one of six candidates on the Sept. 8 Democratic primary ballot. “I think it’s wrong. I do not owe anyone anything and would start with a clean slate, making decisions as a good administra- tor, not political decisions.” The disagreements over whether candidates should take donations from within the Essex County Sheriff’s De- partment date back to a pledge letter sent out by candidate Ed O’Reilly in June.
