On this episode of Mastering The Room, we’re joined by Stephanie Vance — an alumna of the Legislative Affairs program and current adjunct faculty member at GSPM, and a 25 year veteran of the Washington political scene, where she has held positions as a lobbyist, grassroots consultant and Congressional aide.

Known as the Advocacy Guru, Stephanie is the author of five books including Citizens in Action: A Guide to Influencing Government, and her most recent release The Influence Game. She also puts her extensive experience on Capitol Hill to use as the founder of Advocacy Associates, a firm dedicated to helping individuals and organizations be both heard and agreed with in the legislative environment.
