Karen H. Vaughn, President
Karen H. Vaughn founded her unique company in 1996, recognizing a need among federal government agencies and nonprofit organizations, operating in the D.C. area, for expert public relations counsel without the hassles and costs of a large, impersonal firm. Karen takes pride in her company's reputation for personalized service that produces visible results. Concepts' steady track record of success has led to a growing list of clients that includes not only several federal agencies and nonprofits, but also an increasing number of private sector firms, who value the company's customer-centric approach to business.
As president, Karen closely maintains communication with all clients to ensure their satisfaction during all phases of a project. Her employees and consultants also share her dedication to unparalleled professionalism.
In leading the Concepts team, Karen draws upon more than 20 years of experience in the public relations field. Prior to launching Concepts, she worked at Walcoff & Associates, where she split her time between business development and managing several accounts. She has also consulted for the U.S. Marshals Association, conceptualizing and implementing outreach campaigns in targeted communities nationwide.
Karen's international experience includes consulting for Allpoints International and Tri-World International, where she helped implement small business development initiatives on behalf of clients in Africa, South America and the Caribbean. In addition, she was responsible for marketing efforts in developing countries, conducted under the auspices of the U.S. Agency for International Development.
Karen earned a B.A. in communications from The George Washington University.
