Developing Nation-Wide Advocacy Strategies

Working with Amanda demystified the process of how to influence policy change. She showed us that the door was open and we took it from there to win amendments to the law we sought to change. Amanda was inspiring as she helped us put our strategy and tactics together, her explanations were thorough and clear. We highly recommend her to any organization!

Lisa Valencia-Svenssonformer ED, Racial Equity Media Collective

I accomplished more working with Amanda in our first meeting than in any previous working relationship of similar nature. She immediately understood the needs of our team as well as the needs of our larger organization. Amanda has an incredible ability to work at the macro level as well as to strategically apply that work to a big picture strategy.

Rarely have I come across someone as talented and effective as Amanda. No one knows better how to leverage the power of advocacy.

Amanda is clear and practical in her communications and strategic recommendations, which is remarkable given the complexity of the issues that she is being asked to advise on. In our work together thus far, these attributes have enabled her to deliver beyond our expectations.
