Meet the Presenter

Combining a passion for forward-thinking public policy with a commitment to giving everyone a voice in the civic process, Andrew Goldberg is a recognized leader in building advocacy programs on both sides of the Atlantic. After studying architecture and design at the University of Pennsylvania, Andrew got his start in politics running local and state campaigns. In Washington, D.C., Andrew served as a top legislative aide to key members of Congress, helping two freshman members establish policy and enact far-reaching legislation.​

After a stint in the UK where he created a parliamentary lobbying program for a British healthcare association, Andrew was named the first-ever full-time executive director of Democrats Abroad, the party's overseas arm. Andrew then moved to the American Institute of Architects. There, he rose from manager of federal regulatory relations to become senior director of federal relations and ultimately managing director of government relations and advocacy, transforming AIA’s advocacy program to raise the profile of its members in Washington and push several landmark bills to enactment. ​

Andrew has served as a media spokesperson for several organizations and has been quoted in Politico, Roll Call, the Hill, the Washington Post, and others.
