Vance is a 25-year veteran of the Washington, D.C. political scene and has held positions as a lobbyist, grassroots consultant and Congressional aide. Her experiences as a legislative director and Chief of Staff on Capitol Hill led her to found Advocacy Associates, a firm dedicated to helping individuals and organizations be both heard and agreed with in the legislative environment. She is the author of five books including “Citizens in Action: A Guide to Influencing Government” and the recently released “The Influence Game.”
