The mission of FAPL is to establish and maintain high standards for those who take pride in being a professional lobbyist.

We focus on education and ethics in advocacy. Each member must complete a course in lobbying regulation and ethics and then participate in periodic continuing education. The Association's Code of Ethics sets out explicit standards of conduct in dealing with public officials, clients, and one another that are based on principles of honesty, candor, integrity, and respect for the process. If ethical conduct is called into question, the Association adheres to a dispute resolution process.
