SAN DIEGO - Sept. 3, 2013 - PRLog -- Southwest Strategies, San Diego's top public outreach agency, has enhanced its leadership team with the promotion of Elizabeth Hansen from Director of Public Affairs to the role of Vice President. Following the addition of multiple new hires and client successes, Hansen stepped up to the plate to deliver additional management.

Hansen is a public affairs professional with extensive experience in strategic planning and implementation of community, government and media outreach programs. At Southwest Strategies, Hansen serves as a senior writer, coordinating client projects and managing research and marketing efforts, as well as publicity programs.

"As the firm's grown over the years, new roles and responsibilities were developed to encourage staff advancement into senior leadership roles," said Alan Ziegaus, the company's Chief Executive Officer. "Elizabeth has been a dedicated employee the past 13 years and the move into the Vice President role was a natural next step for her and SWS."

In her role as Vice President, Hansen oversees major clients through the entitlement and construction processes, overseeing outreach programs related to land use, transportation and infrastructure projects for clients such as Poseidon Water and SANDAG, and supervises a team of staff members. She is also responsible for generating business leads and maintaining strong relationships with government, business and media leaders. The new role is similar to the position Hansen held in the past, but includes assisting the partners with more staff management and new business development.

"I am honored to take on this new role," said Hansen. "We have a great team at Southwest Strategies and I look forward to continuing to work closely with our clients and collaborating with staff."

Hansen is very involved in the San Diego community, serving as a Vice Chair of the Scripps Miramar Ranch Planning Group. She also serves as a board member for the YMCA of San Diego County's Youth & Family Services Board of Directors and Holiday and Poinsettia Bowls Committee.
