Welcome to Advance Advocacy!

I am pleased to offer nonprofit organizations the tools and skills to
enhance public interest  advocacy to advance sound and just public
policies at the local, state and federal levels.  At the core of our
democracy is an informed and engaged citizenry.  Charities,
associations and foundations have an obligation to provide the tools
and impetus to promote advocacy and grassroots participation.

For over 20 years, I have conducted direct lobbying on a variety of
health and human services issues, created grassroots campaigns
and led successful coalitions.   Now, I would like to share my expertise,
creativity and energy with others.
