Nancy started her political career in the office of then-freshman Congressman Newt Gingrich, and returned to serve as Education Director for Gingrich's non-partisan organization, American Solutions. She has served as a chief of staff on Capitol Hill, as a campaign manager, as a fundraiser and as a political educator. In 1990, Nancy started The Nancy Bocskor Company, a political consulting firm specializing in training for officeholders, candidates and campaign workers, and fundraising for Members of Congress.
Nancy has taught campaign schools in all 50 states and a more than a dozen foreign countries, and consistently receives top marks for her innovative techniques and her humorous anecdotes.
She travelled to Nigeria in May 2009 where she advised nine women Members of Parliament in advanced leadership and communications training, and returned there in August to produce a documentary about the women's path to public service.
Nancy spent a week in guest lecturing at Lake Seliger, a summer camp for young political leaders across Russia, and traveled to Mexico City in to speak to 300 students at National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), the largest university in Mexico, in September. She also taught 75 attendees from 22 countries at an International School of Fundraising held in England, and conducted a three-day leadership conference in Lithuania for women activists from Belarus.
She regularly meets with aspiring political leaders when they visit the United States, including recently conducting a messaging and leadership development workshop for women from Bahrain at Meridian International.

Testimonials
"Thank you for your most informative presentation, All Politics is Still Personal. With the wonderful technology we have today, I believe political parties have gone "overboard" depending on the technology and forgotten completely that "all politics is still personal." The human factor is the most important ingredient."
Diance M. McGlinchey
Hungtington Beach, CA
"Ms. Bocskor knows how to fascinate her audience with both her knowledgeable and entertaining presentational style. The audience greatly appreciated her frank and straightforward way of presenting... Due to her broad international experience, Ms. Bocskor knows how to discern the differences between campaigning in the U.S. and abroad. Thus she delivered a presentation that was tailor-made for her audience."
Christian Schness
Konrad Adenauer Foundation
"Thank you for meeting with the Indiana Leadership Forum's Class of 2007. The class enjoyed your presentation, with one member saying she was inspired to go out and raise money without ever having done it before. I would certainly take it as a sign that you reached the members of your audience."
Holly M. Davis
Executive Director
"Thank you. Your exceptional presentation at the Campaigns & Elections magazine campaign seminar. It's always a pleasure seeing professionals willing to share their hard earned knowledge with others. It was also great to know you've worked in Texas. It's nice to see a friendly face when away from home."
Rusty Ballard
Chairman, Ellis County GOP
"Ms Bocskor, I was at the Leadership Institute seminar in the UK in 2008 and very much enjoyed your presentation and advice. They helped me to start one of the most successful NGO fund-raising campaign in Bulgaria and I am thankful."
