Anne Policastro became interested in government during college at Miami University after interning for her Cincinnati, Ohio member of Congress in their district office. After graduating, she turned her dream of moving to Washington D.C. into a reality by getting a one-year fellowship with UPS in DC. She liked the company and moved up the ranks, becoming a manager, then a director, and now works as the Vice President of Public Affairs, where she covers tax and pension policy.
Anne is purs
uing a Master’s in Business Administration to learn more about how policy could be shaped to better serve businesses and produce the best outcomes. She also wants to develop a stronger background in finance and strategy to combine with her experience in politics and government relations.
Having grown up in Cincinnati where Proctor & Gamble is such a big company, Anne noted that Bryce Harlow was an optimist for the lobbying industry. “Mr. Harlow seemed like a calm, steady hand who helped get things done without people getting too partisan or frustrated,” Anne observed. “He embodied the spirit of doing what’s right even when others aren’t looking. Lobbyists must have integrity, as trusting people is crucial to getting things done,” Anne said. “This is exactly what the Bryce Harlow Foundation stands for, and I am proud to be part of the Fellowship community.”
