"Ann Rosenthal has been the Georgia Alliance of YMCAs lobbyist for over 18 years providing valuable statewide counsel to each and every Y in Georgia. WE see her as more than a lobbyist, she is a constant and reliable source of support for each and every Georgia association. Without Ann's guidance, connections and proactive approach, our Ys would not be where they are today. We are grateful for her dedication to the mission of the Y and all of the work done in support of our efforts."

“Ann knows the players and the process at the Georgia Legislature, and she understands the chaotic nature of lawmaking in this state. She is honest and forthright, and works as hard as anyone I’ve ever worked around. Ann gets the job done!”

"I have worked with Ann Rosenthal for eight years and can unequivocally confirm that she has been a tremendous benefit to the advocacy efforts of the YMCA to improve local, state and federal public policies to benefit families and communities in Georgia. Ann’s deep knowledge of Georgia state government, her many years of first-hand experience at the state legislature and her ability to forge strategic relationships are valuable assets. Moreover, her sheer determination to achieve her goals, coupled with her sincere commitment to the Y’s mission, have made her an incredibly effective advocate. On top of all that, she is not only reliable, she is a pleasure to work with."

"Ann Rosenthal did what some others attempted but were unable to accomplish -- she got Northlake to join the Tucker CID. I can tell you, that the manner in which she organized and drove this effort was more strategic and more "politic" than some other men and women who salivated over Northlake but who failed in the startup.  And as you watch big changes happen in Northlake and Tucker over the next five years, know that it is this woman who is at the helm."

"Just a quick thank you for all you do. I have worked with many lobbyists in my career, and you are one of the few who goes the extra mile to keep folks informed."

“Over the years of working with Ann on a number of matters, I have nothing but the deepest respect for her. Ann is the kind of person I enjoy working with because she is smart, motivated and is able to quickly determine the best course of action.”

"Ann, What a great conversation! Thank you for arranging our meeting with the Department so quickly to discuss the grant before the deadline and for presenting our problem with alternatives in a way that they could so easily understand and relate to."

The organization would not be where it is today without your ground work and tenacity to keep moving forward. When I look around I don't think anyone I know could have accomplished what you've done.
