What Clients Say

“I am writing to thank you for providing the Advocacy 101 training at our 2023 Advocacy Day. Your training was very well received and helpful to the BSW and MSW students who had never before met with their State Senator or Representative. The role play received very good feedback.

I believe your training was a very important factor in helping these first-time attendees feel more comfortable and confident in their legislative meetings. The information from these meetings is very helpful to my lobbying for NASW WI and on behalf of both professional and social justice issues.

Thanks again!”

Marc Herstand, MSW CISW - Executive Director National Association of Social Workers, Wisconsin Chapter

“Yesterday the truancy bill that WSSWA supported and helped lead the way passed both the senate and assembly!! We should be proud and empowered by what a few school social workers and their professional association (WSSWA) can do!! Special thanks also go to Jack O’Meara, our tireless lobbyist for WSSWA!”

“It has been my privilege and honor to work with Jack O’Meara for over twenty years. The work has involved a variety of different legislative and electoral ventures. Jack is intelligent, honest, strategic, and has never missed a deadline, even with spur of the moment frantic emergency calls for help. He is the best writer I have come in contact with. Jack has the unique ability to take complex legislation, research or other technical matters and translate them into language the common person can understand and use. Jack’s ability to work with legislators, agency heads/staff, and other lobbyists from both sides of the aisle is a keen advantage to any client. I highly recommend his services to others in search of an honest, hard-working consultant.”
