A Few Words From Our Clients
The best judge of performance is the client! Here's what they say about Lighthouse...
“Lighthouse’s unique Government Affairs Assessment (GAA) tool helped transform PHI from a company still undergoing the stress of a merger to an organization with a “best-practices” approach to federal, state and local government affairs.”
Dennis Wraase, President and CEO, Pepco Holdings, Inc.
“We came to Lighthouse in need of a utility outreach strategy and sound public policy advice. A year later, we have developed a portfolio of important industry/stakeholder relationships and public policy opportunities that are key to driving the future of distributed generation in the US.”
Jan van Dokkum, CEO of UTC Power (a unit of United Technologies Corp.)
“Lighthouse helped INGAA facilitate the 2006 Natural Gas Council Customer Summit. The result was one of the most successful programs ever presented by the NGC. We achieved excellent attendance by a broad cross-section of natural gas customers, presented a highly substantive program, and focused the group on a consensus policy document. The outcome validated our decision to outsource the management of this event to a firm that could handle both the substantive and administrative aspects of staging a large stakeholder forum.”
Don Santa, President, Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (INGAA)
“Lighthouse's expertise in managing federal regulatory issues and relationships was critical to NYISO's positive profile in Washington (at the FERC and in Congress). We also relied on the firm's considerable strength in helping us refine and deploy key messages for multi-stakeholder audiences.”
Carol Murphy, Former Vice President,
New York Independent System Operator (NYISO).
“Lighthouse was a key partner in helping the Alliance Pipeline to go from the incubation stage to a commercial reality. We came to the firm needing expert advice on how to manage outreach efforts with Congress, the FERC and the various stakeholder interests affected by a major new North American natural gas pipeline. Working with Lighthouse, we quickly deployed a strategy, came to know the major players and built broad support for the project, which received all its approvals and went into service in record time.”
J.R. (Jack) Crawford, current President of Altex Energy Ltd.
and former COO of Alliance Pipeline, L.P.
"What makes Lighthouse different is the firm's commitment to fresh ideas on policy development, political strategy and stakeholder engagement. It's easy to find people who can implement a strategy, but far more difficult to find a firm that takes the initiative on innovative approaches to ensuring successful outcomes in Washington."
Dr. Fruzsina Harsanyi, Vice President, Global Public Affairs, Tyco
"Lighthouse provided American Farmland Trust a full array of services that would have been difficult to find in another firm-comprehensive strategic planning and advice, relationship development with important players on and off Capitol Hill, counsel on internal staffing needs, and guidance on matters ranging from coalition management to political contributions. In short, we were impressed with both the range and reach of Lighthouse!"
Ralph Grossi, President, American Farmland Trust
