Dana Loncar
Dana has more than 15 years experience in public affairs in Central Florida. Since joining Consensus she has focused on community relations, local lobbying and campaign management for a variety of clients. Dana’s public affairs clients include leading trade associations, industry groups, public/private consortiums, and Fortune 500 companies in sectors ranging from agribusiness to tourism and retail.
She is also well-known in local political circles and led incoming Senate President Andy Gardiner’s 2012 fundraising efforts, and served as General Consultant for the campaigns of Orange County School Board Chairman Bill Sublette and School Board Member Pam Gould.
In 2007, Dana represented a group of business and community leaders – known as “Let Us Vote” – who successfully passed the first citizen led ballot initiative in Orange County history to allow the voters to decide if they wanted to directly elect the School Board Chair.
Dana joined Consensus in 2006, after four years working in government affairs for Orlando Health overseeing the Government and Community Relations staff and functions for the organization on the federal, state, and local levels. During this time, Dana led Orlando Health’s effort to obtain funding for Central Florida’s only Level I Trauma Center and was successful in obtaining the first local public dollars for the trauma center – $3.2 million from four local governments.
Dana served on the Board for the Coalition for the Homeless for nine years, including Chairman in 2011.
