Flatley Associates, a consulting firm founded by her father, John Flatley, a retired FBI Agent. Specializing in government reform and oversight, together they provided government relations and strategic services to a diverse client list of major corporations, heads of state, celebrities, elected and appointed officials on a diverse range of issues.Since 1994, she has specialized in the representation of children, families and the programs that serve them. She combines a portfolio of bi-partisan political relationships with creative approaches to advocacy to solve problems and achieve successful results in Congress and elsewhere. Working both sides of the aisle, Ms. Flatley was an architect the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997, the first major reform of America's child welfare system in a generation. She was a leader in the campaign to promote the Intercountry Adoption Act and a host of adoption and child welfare bills passed by Congress and implemented by state and local government. From child welfare to adoption to children's health, mental health services, behavioral health and educational services, these bills have ensured substantial reform and oversight of virtually every federal program addressing child welfare and adoption and authorized billions of dollars in new spending.
