Qualifications
- 15+ years of experience in advocacy or lobbying on the federal or state level (criminal justice reform is preferred, but not required). Experience leading nonprofit or private organizations.
- Experience in public relations, marketing, and fundraising.
- Exceptional verbal, written, and visual communication skills.
