Organization Description: 

Polakovic & Partners Inc. helps organizations develop and communicate environmental strategies to make over the world.

Gary Polakovic is an environmental expert with more than 20 years of experience, including writing and editing for the Los Angeles Times where he won a Pulitzer Prize. A Stanford education has made me exceptionally knowledgeable in environmental science. This blend of expertise creates an invaluable specialty in my work today as an environmental policy and communications strategist. With more than two decades of real-world experience at the intersection of science, government and communications, I have a disciplined analytical mind to see the threads as well as the entire tapestry of environmental issues across the built and natural environment. And my non-partisan background means I operate without taint and with high credibility. This puts me in a better position to not only give strategic advice, but to pick up the phone and get important people to take my calls.

I can help your organization with strategic planning, public affairs, media relations, coalition building and more. For details, visit www.MakeOverEarth.com.
