The AAC’s New Government Affairs Liaison Flips the Script on Advocacy
By Gov’t Affairs Liason, Byron Harvison
“My journey to activism wasn’t really about me but rather about continued service to others. Climbing, a “past-time” that helped me discover who I was, became a passion. That passion enabled me to help other Veterans overcome hardship and ultimately led to a career in working on policy matters that impact climbers throughout the country. “ —Byron Harvison
