Samantha Bilotta first heard of the Bryce Harlow Foundation while working towards her bachelor’s degree in political science at American University. As a junior, Samantha took a class on Ethics in Lobbying, taught by the Foundation.
“I loved the class and everything BHF stood for. I knew it was something I wanted to continue to pursue,” Samantha said. “I’ve never found an organization where my morals and beliefs about lobbying aligned so closely with theirs.”
Today, Samantha is a three-time BHF fellow and she credits the Fellowship’s mentoring program as one of its strengths. “My mentors through the Foundation have been engaged every step of the way. They are easy to talk with and provide practical advice while challenging me to question what is right and wrong in the world of professional advocacy.”
Samantha is poised to complete her master’s degree in Legislative Affairs through George Washington University this December while working as a Director for Banner Public Affairs, where she specializes in drafting legislation and policy research.
We’ve been honored to have a young leader with Samantha’s promise and integrity as part of the Bryce Harlow Foundation Fellowship.
