Dawn Laguens, executive vice president for policy, advocacy, and communications, recently joined PPFA and the Action Fund after leading the successful campaign to defeat the Pence amendment, a congressional effort to eliminate Planned Parenthood's access to federal funding.
Ms. Laguens brings decades of experience in campaign strategy and message integration to Planned Parenthood, and is a CLIO award-winning writer and director. She has been one of the leading ballot measure consultants in America, having worked on a wide range of critical social issues. As the founder and president of LKK Partners, her clients have included governors, members of the U.S. Senate and House, EMILY's List, the National Education Association, the Nature Conservancy, the Natural Resources Defense Council, Basic Rights Oregon, and Freedom to Marry, to mention just a few. She has worked for more than 10 years with Planned Parenthood, both nationally and with affiliates. She is the mother of triplets, an avid sportswoman, a native of New Orleans, and a fan of the printed word (but also of her iPad).
