Implementation

Often, our work in leading people to shared goals results in independent organizations, coalitions, and committees. Our secretariat services include everything from supporting daily operations (including facilitation, communication, financial management, and coordination) to helping execute strategic or policy goals.

When a partner group sees a need for a permanent way to collaborate, we guide them through the development of organizational plans, including business plans and legal articles of incorporation. We often serve as the institutional home for new entities until they’ve secured sustainable funding and permanent staff. This includes providing financial services for nascent institutions.

We don’t want to see the hard work of our partners sit on a shelf and gather dust. Instead, we work with our partners  to advocate for reform by supporting ongoing engagement and consultation, strategic communications, and other activities.

Our sister organization, the 501(c)4 Meridian Implementation Fund, lobbies and advocates on behalf of our clients and partners in service of policy outcomes that reflect the consensus they’ve developed. We are not a lobbying firm, but we are experienced in bringing new voices into policy conversations alongside lobbyists in order to create the outcomes our partners seek.

We help our partners develop messages to influence key decision makers and audiences. We help groups craft effective messaging that aligns with their strategic goals. Working with trusted, policy-savvy communications consultants, we create and shape talking points, press releases, and other communications materials.
