The View from Washington: Finding Bipartisanship in a Divided Government

The assumption among political insiders and the general public alike is that Washington is hopelessly broken and nothing gets accomplished. Against this backdrop, Liz Schrayer will delve into a little-known fact about life in Washington - there actually are some political leaders working across the aisle - and...

We used Liz Schrayer as a speaker/moderator for the International Lion of Judah Conference. She inspired 1500 leading female philanthropists. Liz not only prepared to ensure that our message was woven throughout but she has the brilliant ability to also take what was being said by our speakers and reinforce their messages as it related to the important work of our organization. Liz was not only a brilliant moderator but a brilliant partner in the building and creating of a session that was powerful, inspiring and filled with energy.

Tetra Tech was honored to have Liz Schrayer as a keynote speaker at our annual meeting earlier this year, where she spoke about the importance of foreign assistance and the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition's significant and unmatched efforts to ensure continued robust USG funding for foreign assistance. Liz is an incredible advocate for supporting USG strategic investments to elevate development and diplomacy alongside defense in order to build a better, safer world. We were thrilled to have Liz join us, as she is both a longtime and highly-respected player in the international development community, but also a charismatic speaker who creates a strong rapport with her audience. She uses storytelling to demonstrate meaning and foster understanding of her message, which truly resonated with our team. Liz is articulate, organized, and lively in her role as a public speaker, and we would be pleased to welcome her back to Tetra Tech to speak in the future.

Liz Schrayer brings dynamism and insight to a global audience that may be unmatched. Clearly the most intriguing speaker in our program, Liz captivated the audience with both facts and perspective on the intersection of defense, diplomacy and development. And she highlighted the ever so important political dimension in both a sensitive and informative manner. I highly recommend Liz as a featured speaker/presenter for globally minded audiences.

ARS worked with Liz on the launch of our Veterans Coalition for Common Sense in 2016, where her skill as a moderator was on full display. Leading a diverse panel comprised of senior military officers, a member of Congress and health experts, Liz seamlessly wove the conversation around the key reasons why the veteran community supports responsible solutions to gun violence. Her preparation alone ensured the discussion would delve deep into these issues, but her instinctual ability to read both the panel and the audience made the difference in drawing out meaningful, informative exchanges. If you are looking to make a real impact on your audience, Liz will deliver.

"We had the good fortune to have Liz Schrayer speak to a group of major donors in our community recently about the political dynamics in Washington and around the country. She is extremely dynamic, articulate, and personable. She had a lot of content and was extremely engaging and connected very well with our audience. Liz came prepared, knew her material, and was quite open to staying and talking with our guests after the formal program. I wouldn't hesitate to bring her back for a future event."
