Bio
Sandy Heierbacher, MA, CSM
I have had the pleasure of working closely with Sandy Rodriguez at Everyday Democracy for the past year. I can't say enough good things about Sandy! She is an exceptional communications professional who works quickly and diligently under pressure. She is a GREAT team player, takes and gives feedback with grace, remembers and sticks to deadlines, treats her coworkers with empathy and care, always goes above and beyond expectations, and - did I mention - gets an enormous amount of work done QUICKLY.

Sandy is a very talented and committed communications professional who supports an organization's mission, strategic priorities and helps to insure positive customers outcomes. I have known Sandy eleven years and had the pleasure to work with her in my role as former CEO for Capital Workforce Partners and President of the US Conference of Mayors Workforce Development Council (USCM WDC). She prepared, delivered and presented comprehensive communications strategies and plans locally and nationally to support both organizational and system brands. Recognized as a results oriented consensus builder and thought leader by the USCM WDC. Sandy will excel at bringing this comprehensive and practical knowledge and experience to many more organizations, as she embarks on the launch of her new consulting business. She will be a tremendous asset to any client organization that has been struggling or wishes to enhance their communications effort to support their mission and brand.
