With nearly 15 years of trade association experience, Monica Dolenc possesses a deep fervor for and commitment to education initiatives, especially those closely tied to the principles of personal responsibility, freedom, federalism, and the American Dream.

Originally from Ohio, Monica attended Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Indiana where she earned a double B.A. in Communication Studies and Theatre, with a Public Relations minor. Upon graduation with honors, Monica began her career in Washington, D.C., working her way up within the association world, learning everything possible to best serve missions and people with whom she is passionate about.
