BY INVITATION ONLY · WASHINGTON, D.C.
Always Off the Record
A private cohort for PAC professionals.
You’ve spent your career building support for others.
Now, a standing table of trusted peers built to support you.
WHY IT EXISTS
You support your VP.
You support your lobbyists.
You support your PAC donors.
You hold everything together.
But who supports you?
Executive Session.
Take your seat at a private table of 12 PAC professionals where everything discussed is always off the record. Real relationships with the people who truly understand this job from the inside, and the candor that only comes from relying on the same trusted group, session after session.
Bring your challenges and hear from those who’ve already solved that piece of the puzzle. Connect and collaborate with a group invested in success: yours and theirs. No vendors, no one trying to sell you anything—just a closed-door session where you can share what’s working and what isn’t, and return to your office with real solutions.
WHO IT IS FOR
Corporate and association PAC professionals,
seated with peers at a similar stage of their career,
so every conversation starts from shared experience.
Placement is based on role and experience, and confirmed with each invitation.

YOUR HOST
After more than 15 years leading corporate and association PACs, Joanna knew that even when surrounded by colleagues, the PAC role is often a team of one.
What was missing wasn’t a busier network… it was a smaller one to rely on. A standing table of trusted peers who understood the work, the pressure and the decisions that rarely have an easy answer.
So she built one.
At Abbott, she led the company’s PAC, growing it from $400k to $2MM+ per cycle and into one of the top 50 corporate PACs in the country, outpacing even larger companies. Her results twice earned her the Abbott President’s Award.
Along the way, raising PAC dollars for the nation’s doctors and America’s cattle ranchers, Joanna learned that the most successful fundraising is built on trust, peer to peer. She later shared that philosophy as a featured speaker for the Public Affairs Council.
Joanna’s belief in the power of gracious hospitality also shapes her approach to leadership. After pausing her career to raise her four children, she spent time baking and selling cookies at her local farmers market. Today, that same spirit defines Executive Session: thoughtful details, genuine connection and a place where people feel comfortable enough to speak candidly.
And if you’re lucky, there may be cookies at the table.
