Since then, the firm has supported more than 350 organizations as they establish a foothold, refine messaging, and develop outreach plans.

Patel values ongoing leadership development and civic learning, and he has participated in regional leadership programs and citizens’ academies focused on government operations and public safety. These experiences, including involvement in business leadership groups and federal agency citizens’ courses, have given him insight into how institutions function and how residents can engage productively.
