I develop innovative, national strategies which paves the pathway for coalitions and organizations to achieve their progressive, political goals. I streamline coalition activities but also identify strategic opportunities that may fall outside of the original strategy plan.

Examples:

• Chaired the outreach committee of a national campaign, Rebuild & Renew America Now (2009), to pass the President's budget.  Recruited over 115 national and state-based organizations to participate in nationally-coordinated events and advocacy.

• Led coordination of the Million Doors for Peace (9/20/2008) national canvass. Recruited over 8,000 volunteers from 49 states; volunteers identified 14,111 people opposed to the Iraq war and 1,000 people committed to volunteer for future anti-war efforts.  Wrote campaign plan and coalition statement; coordinated the coalition of 25 participating organizations. 

• Directed coordination of more than 150 activities in fall of 2007 which generated 45 earned media reports stressing the importance of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).  Also provided trouble shooting support and maintained all report backs.

• Developed the field tactical plans for national budget advocacy as part of the national Emergency Campaign for America's Priorities (2006 & 2007). Managed partners' commitments to participate in, and prepared reports on, Weeks of Action that included grassroots activity in an average of 20 states each week.

• Provided strategy consultation, issue research and logistical support for USAction state affiliates in Georgia, Idaho, Missouri and New Jersey throughout the 2005 Americans United to Protect Social Security campaign which defeated President Bush's proposal to privatize Social Security.
