Lobbyist and Designer of Grassroots Campaigns

Lobbying and Designing Campaigns

1989-2010 Established BOBRICK & ASSOCIATES, a Lobbying, Campaign Management and Public Relations firm that also specialized in designing and executing grassroots lobbying campaigns for non-profits, unions and corporate clients. 

I proudly advocated for the men and women of the Anchorage Police Department Employees Association (APDEA), and the Anchorage Firefighters Union (IAFF Local 1264 AFL-CIO), as their professional lobbyist, in addition to numerous other clients, from the local refuse hauling company to Fortune 500 corporations.

I also did extensive work in the area of advocating for survivors of sexual assault, and for people who experienced disabilities and their families.

For 10 years I was President of the Board of Directors of Alaska’s largest rape crisis center, Standing Together against Rape (S.T.A.R.), and due to this work was appointed to the Alaska state Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault by the Governor of Alaska, twice elected Chair of the Council.  In 2002 I was awarded the First Lady Volunteer of the Year Award for my work combating sexual assault in Alaska.

I have a clear and current understanding of the scope of the issue of sexual assault, sexual harassment and sexual discrimination on college campuses, schools and in the workplace. I have over 1000 hours of staffing the 24 hour crisis line for S.T.A.R., and have conducted trainings for employees in the area of sex discrimination and sexual harassment in the workplace.

Working with social service providers, I was instrumental in designing Alaska’s longest-running and arguably most successful grassroots lobbying campaign; “The Key Campaign” which advocated for and received increased legislative appropriations for community based programs that served people who experienced disabilities and mental illness. As part of this ongoing campaign I was in charge of training and empowering individuals and their families on how to advocate for themselves in their community, and engage in the political process.

The work performed by my consulting firm for over two decades was a natural extension of my work as a union organizer and former Executive Director of the Alaska state Democratic Party, and further refined and developed my skill sets in government relations, campaign management, advocacy, empowerment, community organizing, and grassroots lobbying.
