About BLAC
What BLAC is
Blackwood Lobbying & Advocacy Corps is a member-governed association for Colorado's lobbyists and political advocates. Membership is earned through vetting, and maintained through conduct, and professional standing in a member's respective field.
Practice
Members are currently practicing lobbyists or political advocates in Colorado. We are not an honorary or alumni association. We do accept activists with a record of effective activism.
Governance
BLAC is governed by its members, not by outside interests or a single founder.
Intelligence
Members access Marun, the Corps's innovative collective intelligence tool, as a condition of good standing.
Standing
Membership is by invite or referral. A member's standing reflects on the member who brought them in.
BLAC Certified
Confirm a member's standing with BLAC.
BLAC membership is not an open registry. Every member completes vetting before admission and maintains standing through conduct and practice alignment. Use this page to confirm whether a lobbyist or advocate you're working with is a current BLAC member.
BLAC Certified
What certification means
Every certified member completes professional vetting before joining the corps — not an open registry.
Members operate within declared practice areas and corps governance, not as generalist operators.
Professional judgment and client confidentiality are assumed — not marketed as an afterthought.
Peer standards and corps oversight distinguish BLAC certification from unvetted lobbyists and advocates.
Membership
Your home base among peers who do the work
BLAC welcomes all non-elected, currently practicing political professionals: lobbyists, advocates, government affairs specialists, and allied practitioners. We are not a forum for elected officials; we are the corps where practitioners belong.
Membership is practice-aligned and professionally vetted. You gain a trusted network, structured programming, and a place where discretion and standards are assumed.

Marun
Collective intelligence, built for discretion
Every member gets access to Marun, the Corps's collective intelligence tool. It surfaces what matters across the membership without exposing client work, strategy, or trade secrets.
Access activates once you're vetted and dues are current.
