Sardinas, NBPLA, currently serves as the President/CEO of FMS Global Strategies, LLC, a #Black and other #BIPOC Governmental Affairs Advocacy firm, and The Purpose Driven Girl, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, focused on empowering #BIPOC women and girls who are often unable to use their voice— due to intersectionality and structural racism. Her public policy career spans 28 years working in Telecom, Engineering, Banking, IT, STEM, Cannabis, Social Equity, and Financial Literacy. She is a good-standing member of the National Black Professional Lobbyist Association.

    She began her career as an intern on President Bill Clinton's campaign in 1992 and served as the Statewide political director of Women for Change on the Obama Campaign in 2008 and 2012. She recently served as the Coalition builder for Pete Buttigieg and Joe Biden's Washington State Presidential campaigns.

She currently serves as a Co-Chair of the WA EV Coordinating Council and on the Board of WLIHA, ZEV and several other Boards, leading initiatives to promote renewable energy sources and combat climate change. She has been recognized for her endeavors when she was selected as a 2023 delegate to the United Nations 67th Commission on the Status of Women (CSW67). In March of 2023, The Madrona Institute further honored her contribution to leadership with their most prestigious award, naming her as recipient of their David Giuliani Climate Leadership Award.

    Sardinas earned her AA and BBA from Columbia College in Missouri and studied for her MBA at the College of William & Mary. She has also worked with and for the Administrations of Presidents Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden on various programs to increase opportunities and access for women and children.  She has closed out her 2020 by being named by 425 and Sound Magazine as one of the six "Women to Watch."

    We are seeking an equity-centered strategist who leads with purpose, accountability, and an unwavering commitment to integrity. With over four years of experience in business strategy, operations, and project management, this professional understands that systems don’t change on their own — people change them. And that requires courage, advocacy, and clear intention.

    Their work focuses on aligning people, process, and technology to improve outcomes not only for the organization, but for the communities it serves. They use data storytelling to reveal truths, elevate lived experience, and drive decisions grounded in fairness, transparency, and shared prosperity. Their credentials — MBA, PMP, and ITIL — reflect rigorous training, but it is their values that guide their leadership.

    They have successfully led cross-functional teams through operational redesign, performance analysis, and technology transformation — centering community voice, equitable access, and accountability at every stage. They understand that data carries history, systems carry bias, and real change requires both structural solutions and human empathy.

    Equally, this individual is an advocate — in practice, not just principle. They mentor emerging leaders, build inclusive learning environments, and create pathways for others to lead. Their work as a teaching assistant supporting business and analytics students demonstrates a belief that leadership is not about being at the front — it is about pulling others forward with you.

  • Our Community Engagement Consultants are trusted connectors who specialize in building relationships that make public work more accessible and authentic. With experience leading town halls, listening sessions, and community forums, they help turn big ideas into real conversations. They’re skilled at making people feel heard—whether in a room of 10 or 100—and work closely with clients to create welcoming spaces where community voice can inform strategy and decision-making. When we show up, we’re not just checking a box—we’re showing up prepared, present, and ready to support lasting impact.
