Amol Dhaliwal

Amol Dhaliwal is the current Director of Government Relations for St. Petersburg College (SPC).

Prior to his work with SPC, Dhaliwal served as the public and legislative affairs coordinator in the Office of the Attorney General under Ashley Moody

Before that, he was a legislative assistant to Sen. Danny Burgess

“When Amol walks in, the first thing you notice is his energy,” Burgess said of his former staffer.

“Since Day 1, he’s shown initiative, ready with problem-solving ideas and passion for whatever it is he is working on. My team and I joke that if the Energizer bunny worked in this process, he would look like Amol Dhaliwal. Amol has a bright future and I can’t wait to see where he goes.”

Dhaliwal’s legislative and Cabinet-level experience provides a strong foundation for gov ernment affairs work, with strong connections to key players in Tallahassee and foundational knowledge about the legislative and bud geting process.

“I have known Amol since he worked with Sen. Danny

Burgess’s office. His work ethic and professionalism set him apart from others,” said Shawn Foster, a veteran of the political process. Foster previously served as a lobbyist with the Southern Strategy Group and worked for U.S. Rep. Gus Bilirakis and Pasco County Tax Collector Mike Fasano when he was a state Senator.

“Amol is a great example of how talent, mixed with skills, and a positive attitude, add up to success.”
