As vice president for legislative and public affairs, Della Cronin brings a broad range of education, legislative and public affairs experience to the Washington Partners, LLC team.

Cronin has managed corporate and national partnerships, as well as outreach and public awareness efforts for education organizations and advocacy efforts. She has also done fundraising for an education advocacy organization and, after the Higher Education Act reauthorization of 1998, worked with the Department of Education to put together training materials, videoconferences and online training tools for federal student aid professionals.

While working for the WorldCom Foundation, she was charged with putting together a communications plan for the MarcoPolo: Internet Content for the Classroom initiative. The new initiative expanded significantly during Cronin's tenure, and she worked with national education associations and partners, state education agencies, administrators and teachers to determine how best to get this resource into the hands of educators nationwide.

Della Cronin holds a B.A. in economics, with a minor in political science from Virginia Tech.
