Join us in welcoming Elizabeth “Libby” Bolling to Capital Strategic Solutions (CSS) as Communications Specialist. With more than 40 years of experience in the field of communications, Libby brings a diverse set of skills to benefit Capital Strategic Solutions’ clients. Prior to joining CSS, she worked more than 23 years with Pinellas County, Florida government as a Public Information Specialist, video producer, reporter, voice talent and developer of the highly successful e-TownHall meeting format, helping the public better understand the functions and programs of local government. Libby’s work yielded multiple awards during her tenure, including a regional Emmy nomination, multiple national Telly Awards, an Outstanding Achievement Award from the National Hurricane Conference and a Digital Government Achievement Award from the Center for Digital Government.
As a Public Information Specialist, Libby has worked with water and wastewater utilities, public works, planning and building, human resources, animal services, transportation, solid waste and floodplain management as client departments, successfully planning and executing a multitude of communications programs. She was a key player in developing a highly successful program for public information as part of Pinellas County’s participation in the National Flood Insurance Program’s Community Rating System (CRS). As a result, Pinellas County recently achieved a Class 2 rating—the highest rating a Florida community has ever achieved putting it in the top one percent of CRS communities nationwide—saving property owners up to 40% on their flood insurance premiums.
Libby started her career in communications as a television producer/director with WGTV Athens/Atlanta on the University of Georgia campus, working with many well-known figures in local, state and national government and politics, sports and entertainment and she continued that success over a broad career in public and commercial television and video production.
I am so excited to join Capital Strategic Solutions and work with our clients to build lasting and productive relationships with their constituents and stakeholders through effective communication. The added bonus of working alongside such a seasoned and professional team is a dream come true for me. I look forward to adding value to their work and providing our clients the very best communications programs and services
Libby doesn’t just master the art of communication; she turns complexity into simplicity, making the obscure obvious to the members of the public. In every explanation, she bridges the gap between the known and the unknown, enabling understanding to flow like a river through the channels of clarity. Her skill transcends mere transmission of information; it’s about enlightening minds, one interaction at a time.
