American League of Lobbyists

Welcome to the American League of Lobbyists (ALL) Web Site!

We hope you find useful the resources that are provided for both ALL members and the general public.

The mission of the League is to "enhance the development of professionalism, competence and high ethical standards for advocates in the public policy arena, and to collectively address challenges which affect the First Amendment right to 'petition the government for redress of grievances.'"

The 110th Congress is busy putting this mission to the test as they make dramatic changes to the ethics rules for Members of Congress and work to amend the Lobbying Disclosure Act. ALL has long supported ethics in lobbying, establishing our first code of ethics in 1987, long before the recent scandals and debates. We encourage every lobbyist to comply with our code of ethics, not just League members. As always, our members will comply with the rules and laws that Congress adopts.

Membership in the league is open to any full-time, professionally employed lobbyist, at either the state or federal level. Our membership keeps growing and we looking forward to reaching the 1,000-member mark in 2007. To join the League, just visit the membership page.

Feel free to send us your comments through the "Contact Us" page. Thank you for visiting our web site.

Established in 1979 as a nonprofit organization, The American League of Lobbyists (ALL) is the national professional association dedicated exclusively to lobbying. ALL's mission is to enhance the development of professionalism, competence and high ethical standards for advocates in the public policy arena, and to collectively address challenges affecting the first amendment right to “petition the government for redress of grievances.”

ALL actively encourages the advancement of ethical lobbying practices. Our Code of Ethics has been recognized as an important document that serves to strengthen our image and enhance our role as a vital and respected link in the democratic process. The League provides timely updates for the membership on laws and regulations governing lobbying through programs, e-updates and written analyses.
