About Kate Jahries Waller
Currently: Senior Director of Communications and Public Affairs at the Climate Leadership Council, promoting the most effective, fair, and politically viable climate solutions. Past: I\'ve worked with nonprofits, associations, academic institutions, political candidates, coalitions, and Fortune 500 companies to develop communications and marketing campaigns that drive action. I\'ve had the honor of working on important policy areas ranging from climate change to health care, and I\'ve also helped businesses generate buy-in to their employee wellness and corporate social responsibility initiatives. What ties these experiences together is the need to break down complex topics and bring people together through creative, accessible, and engaging content. This is what excites me and drives my professional growth. I also have a strong interest in HR-related functions like talent acquisition, training, operations, and workplace well-being. Whether a formal part of my role or something I\'ve raised my hand to volunteer for, I\'ve always sought to be a part of shaping organizational culture and development. Specialties: strategic communications, project management, writing and editing, stakeholder outreach and engagement, meetings and events
