A Capitol Event

As founder and owner of A Capitol Event, Amanda wears many hats: vision translator, problem solver, chief diplomat, and therapist, using her steel magnolia grit to ensure each event runs smoothly and exceeds her clients’ expectations. Amanda’s passion for creating impactful events began in her native Louisiana, where she planned disaster recovery volunteer trips for hundreds of high school and college students after Hurricane Rita. After completing her Masters at George Washington University in legislative affairs, Amanda worked in the nonprofit sector for nearly ten years in government relations, where she planned countless Hill briefings, salon dinners, report releases, and spearheaded advocacy campaigns. In the last five years, Amanda turned this passion into her day job, planning conferences, fundraising dinners, and advocacy days (in person and now virtually).
