_Valerie Denney
For over two decades Valerie has delivered professional public relations services to organizations, agencies and individuals working for positive social change. She does this not by grinding out press releases or badgering the “usual suspects” in the media (though she is a master of the terse, timely release and is well-respected by reporters and editors in Chicago and beyond.) Instead, Valerie works with clients to articulate core messages, identify key audiences, translate complex issues into simple but evocative language … and then reach out for maximum impact.
A mentor not a mouthpiece, Valerie’s approach has won for VDC the loyalty of top-line clients such as The Chicago Community Trust, The Joyce Foundation, Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation, Urban Land Institute and Donors Forum. The same approach is also valued by clients in the here-and-now worlds of politics, government and issue advocacy. VDC works with Illinois Partners for Human Service, ACT Now!, and Local Initiatives Support Corporation, Business and Professional People in the Public Interest
