| NEWS RELEASE August 22, 2006 ARIZONA NONPROFIT LEADER AND ATTORNEY APPOINTED AS WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Center for Lobbying in the Public Interest (CLPI) recently named Tim Delaney, president and founder of the Phoenix-based Center for Leadership, Ethics & Public Service, as one of ten CLPI Training Fellows. As a Training Fellow, Delaney will help CLPI accelerate nonprofit engagement in the public policy process, particularly legislative advocacy, by facilitating trainings for various 501(c)(3) organizations across the country. A distinguished attorney, respected trainer, and nationally-recognized expert on the nonprofit sector, Delaney helped incubate the new Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits and has served as senior advisor for the National Council of Nonprofit Associations. “Tim is a valuable addition to our cadre of Training Fellows. His work with us will strengthen our ability to help nonprofits build their capacity for public policy engagement and see that advocacy and lobbying is just as important to furthering their missions as fundraising or providing direct services,” said CLPI president Elizabeth M. Heagy. “Tim's Phoenix base will also allow CLPI to reach out to more nonprofits in Arizona and other western states.” “I feel honored to have been asked to partner with the Center for Lobbying in the Public Interest,” said Delaney. “CLPI has an outstanding reputation as being a trusted resource for helping nonprofits to further their missions through public policy engagement. Nonprofits are often the leading policy experts with front-line insights, so policymakers need to hear their voices.” * * * The Center for Lobbying in the Public Interest (CLPI) promotes, supports, and protects nonprofit advocacy and lobbying in order to advance charitable missions and strengthen participation in our democratic society. A non-partisan Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit, CLPI accomplishes this through providing training, championing the importance of nonprofit participation in the public policy process, and coalition-based monitoring of nonprofit advocacy rights. Visit www.clpi.org for more information. An independent nonprofit founded in 2001, the Center for Leadership, Ethics & Public Service has worked with more than 16,000 people from more than 30 states to enhance the capacities of individuals and organizations to serve, strengthen, and transform their communities. The Center provides on-site leadership and ethics training programs, conducts organizational reviews, develops strategic plans, facilitates leadership retreats, writes about public policy, and creates innovative programs to meet particular needs of governments and nonprofits.
