ALEC CEO Lisa B. Nelson Named One of Most Powerful Women in Washington

The men and women of ALEC are delighted to announce that our CEO, Lisa B. Nelson, has been named to Washingtonian magazine’s list of the Most Powerful Women in Washington.

This recognition comes as no surprise to those of us who work with Lisa every day. She leads ALEC with an unwavering belief in the principles of limited government, free markets, and federalism. Her influence extends well beyond Washington, empowering state legislators across the country to craft solutions that put people first and keep the American dream within reach.

Washingtonian highlights nearly 250 women who are shaping the nation’s capital, those who not only hold important positions but also demonstrate the ability to bring people together, make ideas happen, and move policy forward. Lisa’s inclusion reflects both her long history of service in the political movement and the impact ALEC has had under her leadership.

Whether she’s guiding a conversation with governors and legislators or brainstorming with staff on new ways to share our message, Lisa’s vision and drive inspire us all.

We couldn’t be prouder to see Lisa recognized among such an accomplished group of leaders. Her place on the Most Powerful Women in Washington list is a testament not only to her influence in the nation’s capital but also to the enduring strength of ALEC’s mission and the work being done in statehouses across America.
