Alysia R. Snell
Partner
Alysia has been a partner in the firm since 1995. Alysia
brings extensive experience conducting quantitative and qualitative
research on the significant issues of our day, as well as
synthesizing strategic communication for a wide array of institutions
and initiatives to help clients effectively and productively
address the concerns of their constituencies.
Alysia is a lead partner on the issues side of the firm and
focuses on reproductive choice, breast cancer research and
other women’s health issues, the environment, animal
rights, low-income and working poor, senior issues, and children
-- including public education, early education, health care,
child care, and afterschool programs. She is an expert in
the art and science of opinion research and in understanding
people in their own context as they deal with issues on their
own terms. She understands how language works, how people
respond to language and ultimately, how people think things
through and make connections.
Alysia is based in Richmond, Virginia, and focuses her attention
on several issue areas. Most recently this has included reproductive
choice (Planned Parenthood, NARAL); women’s health (Center
for Women Policy Studies, Breast Cancer Fund); the environment
(Sierra Club, American Rivers, Best Friends); low-income issues
(Community Service Society; Fairness Initiative on Low Wage
Work); education (American Federation of Teachers, Alliance
for Excellent Education); children’s health (Kellogg
Foundation); colleges and universities (Smith College, Swarthmore
College and the University of Delaware), as well as statewide
referenda campaigns, including the defeat of parental notification
in California two years in a row for the Planned Parenthood
Affiliates of California.
Alysia's other focus is her daughter, Caroline, and son,
Harrison. A native of Richmond, she holds a Masters degree
in Political Science and Public Opinion from American University,
and a Bachelors degree in American Government from the University
of Virginia.
