Stacia Wallis is a Behind the scenes change maker at American Civil Liberties Union of the Nation's Capital (ACLU-DC). She possess expertise in leadership, youth development, team building, diversity and inclusion, grassroots organizing and 45 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "Stacia was the first person I met in Students for Sensible Drug Policy and like many others, she's the reason I got involved in drug policy and criminal justice reform. Stacia is someone who is excited to grow the movement's capacity and made me feel welcome from my first SSDP event. I think her exact words were: "of course you can be part of this!" With her support and mentorship, I eventually joined the SSDP staff and we worked together for 5.5 years fundraising, planning conferences, and as directors we grappled with tough questions as the organization grew. Through it all, Stacia brought thoughtfulness and practicality and made every choice with SSDP's best interests in mind. I learned so much from Stacia in our time working together that is still helping me in my career to this day, especially in meeting facilitation, strategic decision-making, and leading in a crisis. Any organization or company would be lucky to have her." and "Stacia is a superb manager. I have mentored and worked with Stacia in every job that she has had at SSDP and in drug policy since early in her undergraduate career -- 14 years. I have been a lawyer for 44 years and on the SSDP board for 16 years (and on the board of 7 other non-profits). I've seen a lot of staff. Stacia is among the 10 best managers and organizers I've have seen in my career. With SSDP, I've seen a lot of outstanding students arrive and grow. SSDP has produced Harvard Law School graduates, Rhodes scholars, physicians, lawyers, entrepreneurs, etc. Stacia has been one of a handful of the most accomplished SSDP alumni because of her outstanding discipline, focus, organization, and intelligence. She has been the unofficial COO of SSDP for many years. She has organized numerous international SSDP conferences. I can't recommend Stacia strongly enough to serve as a high level manager in a high pressure environment."
