Today, I am proud to announce a milestone in our continuing journey to support public affairs, government relations, and advocacy professionals. Earlier this year, I decided to lead the charge to find a new CEO to head Phone2Action, affording me the opportunity to transition into a new role as our President and Chief Strategy Officer.…
Few among us will forget 2020, and the truth is that we shouldn’t. It was a devastating year, stained forever by the staggering loss of more than 300,000 Americans to a cruel and unpredictable disease. As the pandemic took lives, it also stole our sense of security.

In the weeks ahead, digital advocacy will be increasingly vital. That’s why Phone2Action is sharing its technology with the public for a first-of-its-kind effort to promote the nationwide discussion over the response…
