Let’s dive in!
Supporting Your Goals in 2024 and 2025
In 2024, we helped over 40,000 clients achieve three key objectives: building stronger connections, leveraging actionable insights, and driving impactful decisions. Our network continues to grow as we added 20 new connectors to our team this year, bringing in more innovation and expert knowledge to help us serve you better in the coming year.
Product Highlights
In June 2024, we launched our groundbreaking Tribal Data, giving you access to contact information for leaders of all 574 federally recognized Tribes — data you won’t find anywhere else. This data fosters stronger connections with a historically underrepresented community.
Election & Transition Dashboard
For many clients, the 2024 elections were a defining moment. We were there every step of the way, helping you connect with newly elected officials as shifts occurred. Our timely updates on federal, state, and local transitions allowed you to plan strategic engagements and customize outreach, giving you a competitive edge to influence evolving budgets and policies. But the focus on elections isn’t over in 2025. Make sure you start checking in on January 20 to get updates on the changes coming in the new administration after the inauguration!
FedSpend bridges the gap between federal decision-makers and opportunities by enabling you to target and track awards for lucrative deals and contracts.
This year, we enhanced this time-saving tool with:
- Contractor Filter: Narrow your searches and find results faster.
- Contract Vehicle Capability: View detailed information, including important dates, purpose statements, and funding breakdowns, directly from award profiles.
User Experience Enhancements
We refined your user experience in 2024 with a revamped homepage. The streamlined design makes it easier than ever to discover connections, access alerts, and utilize Leadership Connect’s powerful tools.
