Things to Consider
• Participate in associations/relevant committees– Government often works with these groups in
regulations development or consultation– Educate self and membership on requirements
• Don’t just tell gov’t what’s not working– Offer alternatives/solutions
• Recognize why regulations are developed– Protect public– Enable commerce
