Founded on the conviction that communities deserve a voice in decisions affecting them, D&D PolicyWorks began with Dannette "Danni" Palmore, a renowned leader in Columbus committed to trust, relationships, and public service. She emphasized listening, clear communication, and consistent presence. After Danni’s passing, the firm was re-established in 2021 by her grandson, Elyas Ingram, who embraced a vision of continual engagement, equity, and a people-first communication approach. Under his leadership, the firm evolved into a trusted partner for agencies handling impactful community projects. Today, D&D PolicyWorks bridges communities and public projects by fostering trust and ensuring meaningful representation throughout project lifecycles, honoring its roots while advancing a modern, accountable engagement philosophy.
