What position(s) did you hold at The Star? - reporter and resident tennis player
Birthday: March 3
About Me: I left the Star to be a Senate press secretary while I thought about going around the world playing tennis. Didn't go around the world and didn't remain in the Senate. I moved on to be VP of a national environmental organization before landing at ABC News during the 1984 election year -- and ran into old Star chums there like Steve Aug and Sheilah Kast and Jim Bellows. Married, had two daughters, and decided to launch a consulting practice, which I ran for more than 20 years until I became Executive Director of the nonprofit from which I will soon depart.
Along the way wrote Message Matters: Succeeding at the Crossroads of Mission and Market, which is the first book on strategic messaging in the nonprofit sector. Other pubs and articles, lots of speaking, etc. One daughter working on health education programs at AED and the other in the Peace Corps in Honduras. Still playing tennis ... but more slowly.
Comments: How many of us think, as I do, that The Washington Star was the greatest place we ever worked?
Prior to starting her firm in 1985, Ms. Leet was a congressional reporter for The Washington Star, director of News Information for ABC News/Washington, press secretary to U.S. Sen. Lowell Weicker, and vice president of communications for The Wilderness Society.
