Dana’s expertise and leadership of dynamic and diverse teams has been integral to:
- increasing exposure of the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s KIDS COUNT project on child well-being through congressional policy briefings and social media;
- expanding opportunities for American businesses during trade missions led by the Secretary of Commerce to Africa, Asia, Europe, South America and the Middle East;
- increasing African-American voter participation during the 2000 election through urban radio outreach for the NAACP National Voter Fund; and
- raising awareness of the importance of safe sex to teenagers during a Washington, D.C. high-school tour with retired NBA star and HIV-AIDS prevention advocate Earvin “Magic” Johnson.
At DVStrategies, we are excited to bring the energy, enthusiasm and experience from these and many other successes to our clients.
