NAVIGATING GOVERNMENT. ADVANCING IMPACT.
Civic Acumen helps professionals navigate government with clarity and confidence.
Through practical training, digital courses and plain-language resources, we help you understand how government systems operate — and how to engage with them confidently, ethically and effectively.
Our focus is on building clarity in the areas that most often hold people back: procurement, opportunity identification, registration and compliance, relationship building opportunities and the nuances of working with public sector entities.
Whether you’re a consultant, small-business owner or organizational leader, Civic Acumen gives you the insight to navigate government with purpose and the tools to advance your organization’s impact.
NAVIGATING GOVERNMENT.
ADVANCING IMPACT.
Making Government Work Make Sense
Kelly brings a rare combination of public-sector insight and private-sector strategy to her work. After 40 years advising state and local government leaders, she saw how often capable, mission-driven professionals struggled to navigate the systems that could amplify their impact.
With Civic Acumen, she’s translating that experience into clear guidance for individuals and organizations who want to work confidently with government. Her approach distills complex processes into clear, actionable steps — helping others move from confusion to clarity and from readiness to real impact.
