ABOUT ELEVATE PUBLIC POLICY Elevate’s public policy work is rooted in our commitment to business advocacy and quality growth for our region. We believe that devoting time and resources into a place within political and government processes is an investment made on behalf of the regional community to influence substantial impact. To ensure transparency and a wide scope of priorities, Elevate relies heavily on the Public Policy Committee (PPC) to advise ANNA HAYS on significant Public Policy Director and Lobbyist issues. This anna.hays@elevaterapidcity.com 605.939.1880 includes state legislative topics, ballot initiatives, city and county proposals, and hot-button community issues that impact economic development and the livelihood of Black Hills businesses.
