Political Director

Connie Di Cicco is a native Georgian who started her career with a Master's in Filmmaking from Florida State University. After working as Director of Programming for Full Frame Documentary Film Festival in North Carolina, she moved back to Georgia and eventually entered politics, starting with grassroots volunteering and then working as Chief of Staff for several members of the Georgia General Assembly. She ran for office in 2020 and worked as a campaign consultant afterward. After two years with Georgia Conservation Voters as their Political Director, Connie now serves as the Political Campaign Director for The Athena Coalition where she now spends her days moving legislation, wrangling elected officials, and trying to make Georgia and America a little greener and a lot better. When she’s not doing that, you’ll find her baking something delicious, tending to her bees, or watching movies like it’s her second job.
