Delia leads Equal Rights Advocates’ Strategic Communications team to tell the stories that advance gender justice. She has served the nonprofit sector for over 15 years as an advocate, lobbyist, and strategic communications professional. A skilled policy advocate, speechwriter, and policy communicator, Delia strives to make ERA’s vision of gender justice accessible – and actionable. Before coming to ERA, she was Vice President of Strategy and Policy at Forefront, an Illinois state association for foundations and nonprofits. In that role, she enjoyed killing bills that opposed nonprofit and philanthropic independence at the state and federal level. She was the lead to communicate the value of the Illinois nonprofit sector and demonstrate its social return on investment (Building a Stronger Illinois) and, for three years, led the state’s first statewide giving day campaign #ILGive for Giving Tuesday – which raised $11 million in 2016.
