Alison Risso leads The Veterans Consortium’s Marketing and Communications department, sharing stories from the frontline in the fight for veterans’ rights.

Using social media, websites, media relations, partnerships, and events, her team engages lawyers, law students, and corporate in-house counsel to get veterans the benefits they’ve earned.

Before joining The Veterans Consortium, Risso spent decades working for both nonprofit and for-profit organizations, including big-name institutions such as the YMCA and Discovery Networks. Beyond strategic communications work, she’s led organizational renames and rebrands, relaunched websites, produced videos, supported fundraising efforts, and reorganized departments to better capture and share engaging and inspiring stories that move audiences to action.

Risso earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Journalism from Indiana University Bloomington.
