History
ummit Government Affairs was founded in 2021 by Louie Lujan. Prior to founding the firm, Mr. Lujan served as a Mayor, Director of Government Affairs for a Phoenix-based law firm, and as a Government Relations Director in the real estate industry. Mr. Lujan has been appointed to the City of Phoenix Ethics Commission and Sister Cities Commission. With over 20 years of experience in the private and public sector, Mr. Lujan decided to establish a government affairs firm focused on strategies for effective engagement with elected officials and government.
Mission
At Summit Government Affairs, we believe that success depends on preparation, strategy, ideas and effort. Our mission is to provide quality services with integrity, always maintaining the highest ethical standards. Our success comes from strong relationships, knowledge, and knowing how to navigate government.
Community Involvement
At Summit Government Affairs, we share a responsibility to be good corporate citizens by being actively involved in groups that support our community and our clients. Our government affairs staff are board members, committee members and active participants in many groups outside the office. Additionally, we regularly sponsor events and programs hosted by our clients and community organizations.
Internship program
Summit Government Affairs has several Government Affairs Internships available for undergrad and graduate students. Our internships can be remote or hybrid. Interns come from universities all over the country and gain valuable experience in understanding how the private sector interacts with federal, state, and local government. Interns assist in the coordination of meetings/projects with clients, city officials, and other key decision makers. Interns also provide support in preparing and delivering letters and reports, drafting memos and e-mail messages, compiling and maintaining spreadsheets, producing briefing books and materials, and other research, administrative and communication tasks.
