Government Relations & Advocacy feat. Joseph Pierce, Jr.

Today we’re discussing Government Relations and Advocacy. Govt. Relations and Advocacy requires leaders to serve as the unified voice for a group of citizens with a shared cause. They fight to make sure that cause is top of mind with policy makers using their expertise, relationships and negotiation skills. They also educate the community they represent about progress and invest time growing awareness to others to build more support.

Today, I’m proud to speak with Joseph Pierce Jr, the Director of Government Relations and Advocacy with Mental Health Partnerships. Joe fights for policies that will meet the needs of his members in DE, PA and NJ.   He works hard to protect their rights, connect them to benefits and ensure their voices are heard and respected. His background leading successful grassroots campaigns in the battleground city of Philadelphia has even earned him recognition from President Biden.
