Okay, let’s tackle this. So David Aylward has a mix of skills in policy, strategy, leadership, and program management. He’s working in Greenbelt, Maryland, which is a mid-sized location. According to national averages, public policy professionals with similar skills can charge around $50–$100 per hour. However, considering his experience and expertise, I’ll estimate a rate on the higher side of that range. Maybe around $75 per hour, which is slightly above the average but still within a reasonable range for someone with his skills and experience.
