““As a former educator, I’m more comfortable in a school building than in the Statehouse. However, our students, families, and communities count on Communities in Schools to advocate on their behalf, and Torchbearer Public Affairs is the partner walking alongside us who ensures that their voices are heard. Their pragmatic and personal strategy has set us up for success with the Indiana legislature.””
— Hadley Moore Vlahogeorge, Executive Director, Communities in Schools of Indiana
