About Kayah Swanson
With over a decade of experience in communications and advocacy, my expertise lies in shaping impactful narratives and driving policy change. At Sierra Club, my mission is to amplify our environmental advocacy through strategic media work. My approach involves a deep understanding of policy and public perception. I use that understanding to create powerful narratives that move communities across the American West to hold power utilities and regulatory bodies accountable, halt development of oil and natural gas, advance renewable energy and clean technology, and protect public lands. This role has allowed me to manage a talented team, deepen my expertise in energy and lands policy, and engage with national media contacts to influence public discourse effectively. My past achievements, including leading a successful policy agenda at Rocky Mountain Partnership, reflect a consistent ability to marshal cross-sector coalitions and advocate for legislative change that resonates at a grassroots level.
