History

Strength In Numbers Consulting Group, formerly Somjen Frazer Consulting, was founded in 2003. As a woman-owned business, we have been serving progressive non-profit organizations in public health, criminal justice, public engagement and gender and sexuality. We have recently grown to include specialists in advocacy, public policy analysis and governmental affairs, youth, domestic violence, LGBT rights, and immigrant issues.

We are very excited to welcome Jason Cianciotto, Cathy Roche and Chloe Mirzayi. Together we have over 30 years of experience in research, evaluation, grant writing and policy advocacy.
