Jeannie Vanderburg, Se
nior Associate at The Capstone Group
From an early age
Jeannie was knocking doors for political candidates, sitting in on strategy
sessions, and attending election night parties in northwest Denver. While
at the University of Colorado she chose to study Political Science and neve
r looked back. She also had the unique opportunity to live in Jerusalem and
explore the Middle East while studying Middle Eastern Policy at the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem. Jeannie graduated and began work as a research as
sistant at JVA Consulting. However, she missed being in the fray of politic
s day to day, and accepted a position with The Capstone Group. She quickly
proved an invaluable member of the team, monitoring policy debates, develop
ing expertise in the state’s budget process, as well as creating new events
and communication opportunities. As a Senior Associate, Jeannie has achiev
ed a wide range of successes on behalf of clients including developing the
first of its kind continuing professional development program for psycholog
ists in the state and authorizing Colorado psychologists to join an intrast
ate compact allowing them to practice telehealth across state lines, advoca
ting for common sense regulation to ensure the marijuana edible products do
n’t end up in the hands of children, building statewide support for the rea
uthorization of Colorado’s Commercial and Residential Historic Preservation
Credit which the legislature voted to continue for ten additional years, a
nd promoting business friendly policies. During the interim she actively wo
rks with clients on political giving and election strategy. Jeannie is a gr
aduate of the Impact Denver Fall 2018 Class offered through the Denver Metr
o Chamber Leadership Foundation.
