DCI Group, a leading public affairs firm, has expanded its team with two experienced professionals. The company appointed Tim Dupin and Tim Martin to strengthen its strategic alliances and government relations capabilities.
These new additions to the team have ample experience in fields such as advocacy, labor, public policy, and legislative strategies. Apart from that, they will also play an instrumental role in the public affairs services offered by the firm to its clients.
Tim Dupin is the newest addition to the firm as a Director. He will be working on areas such as coalition building, advocacy, and stakeholder engagement.
Dupin has been involved in strategic alliances and grassroots organizing for many years. Before joining the firm, Dupin served as Director of Political Action at the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF). He coordinated various political and legislative campaigns across the country during his tenure there. In addition, Dupin was a firefighter and union official in Kansas City, Missouri. He was the President of the Greater Kansas City Fire Fighters IAFF Local 42.
“Tim Dupin has built an impressive career bringing together organizations, advocates, and stakeholders to advance meaningful policy priorities,” said Managing Partner Brian McCabe. “As a bipartisan firm, his deep relationships within the labor community and extensive experience leading center-left coalition and grassroots efforts will strengthen DCI’s strategic alliances team and create even greater opportunities for our clients to build broad-based support for their initiatives.”
DCI Strengthens Government Relations and Lobbying Capabilities
On the other hand, Tim Martin has joined the firm as the Senior Vice President. He will assist in developing the government relations and lobbying business of the company. Moreover, he will also work alongside Senior Advisor Doug Davenport. Tim Martin has experience in fields such as transportation, energy, and regulations. Before this appointment, he worked as Vice President of Invariant.
“DCI was built on growing and maintaining relationships, and I’m thrilled to support the strategic alliances team,” Dupin said. “I’m impressed with the character of the people who work at DCI, their commitment to their clients, and their singular focus on execution. I’m excited to be part of the team.”
He also headed the transportation and infrastructure practice group within the company. Earlier on in his career, Martin had been working as Public Policy Counsel at WilmerHale. Martin had also been working as Legislative Director at Congressman Rodney Davis and General Counsel at Congressman Scott Tipton. These appointments will definitely enhance the activities of the firm in its capacity as a public affairs organization.
“Tim Martin brings exactly the kind of experience clients need as they navigate an increasingly complex legislative and regulatory environment,” said DCI Managing Partner Justin Peterson. “His background advising on transportation, energy, and public policy, combined with years of experience on Capitol Hill and in private practice, will be instrumental as we continue to grow our government relations and lobbying capabilities.”
“I’m excited to help grow DCI’s lobbying practice,” Martin said. “For years, DCI has been known for having the best public affairs operation in the business. Adding lobbying services will only enhance the firm’s effectiveness for our clients, and I’m proud to be a part of that.”
