Lewis-Burke Consultations
UC Berkeley has a contract with Lewis-Burke Associates, LLC, a leading government relations firm in Washington, DC that provides UC Berkeley with intelligence on upcoming opportunities and helps us plan more effectively for our campus’ funding priorities. This page provides some of their latest intel and funding updates. Lewis-Burke staff are available for consultations and presentations on specific topics. If you are interested, please contact BRDO for more details and a referral to the right expert. Lewis-Burke Associates may be able to help connect you with appropriate federal officials, though UC Berkeley relies on our Federal Relations team for active lobbying efforts.
