I am an expert in bridging relationships between elected officials, government agencies, and non-profit agencies specializing in environmental/sustainability, workforce development, and community impact. I began my career in government working on Capitol Hill as an intern, working on the House Committee on Education and Labor (then called the Committee on Education and the Workforce). Later, I began my career as a congressional staffer for Rep. John Conyers. After working in Congress for over a decade, I established Future Insight Consulting (FIC), LLC. FIC focuses on Sustainability, Coalition Building, and Government Affairs/Advocacy. My Government Affairs services include • Bridging relationships between organizations and elected officials or government representatives. • Convening policy roundtables with elected officials • Helping to navigate the complex legislative process • Assist with developing federal policy white papers for issues ranging from climate change and environmental justice to workforce development and neighborhood improvement. Future Insight Consulting, LLC is a woman and minority-owned privately-run company based in Detroit, Michigan. Key Staff: Kimberly Hill Knott, President/CEO, Future Insight Consulting, LLC Experience: For over two decades, I have worked in some aspects of the political arena, from working as a congressional staffer to Director of Policy and currently Director of Political Relations at my church. I have also worked on several political campaigns, including presidential, gubernatorial, and mayoral. Serving in these positions has given me a keen understanding of political processes. Over the years, I have led the development of several federal policy white papers, contributed to legislation, and led the passage of a historic ordinance in the City of Detroit. I have also convened policy roundtables, conducted candidate and issue forums, and attended policy conferences and legislative briefings on behalf of a client.
