For their first Lunch & Learn, our summer fellows explored the differences between In-House Lobbying and Multi-Client Lobbying, hearing directly from Alex Washington (Entergy), Latrice Powell (The Williams Group), and Charles Carithers (Cornerstone Government Affairs).

Through candid discussion and real-world insights, fellows learned about the diverse paths within government relations, advocacy, and public affairs while gaining valuable advice from experienced professionals in the field.

Building the next generation of leaders starts with exposure, mentorship, and meaningful conversations.
