When the leaders of Washington's government, business and nonprofit organizations want to communicate with the public or have an impact on policy, they often turn to Anne Fennessy for her strategic advice and management skills.

Fen—as she is fondly known—has advised mayors, governors, business executives and others on how to be effective communicators and leaders. Her expertise lies in analyzing complex public policy matters, then crafting and overseeing strategies and effective messages to help clients be successful.

Fen is a great fan of good food, and is known to provide pro bono cooking tips. She also loves art and can often be found in the galleries around Pioneer Square on her lunch break (when she actually takes one).
