About Andrea

ASMYTH ADVOCACY

Offering support and services, based on decades of experience, that will help you achieve your goals.

Ms. Smyth is an entrepreneur and devoted mother and wife, who created a virtual government relations business in 1999 (way before it was a thing) to balance the demands of raising 3 children under the age of eight. Smyth's family values shaped her business model of raising awareness of women and children's issues. She has also run for public office as a way to support her community, running in 2017 for Rensselaer County Executive and in 2022 for the New York State Senate.

Among her past employers and clients are: The NYS Coalition for Children's Behavioral Health, the New York Public Welfare Association, the New York Association of Counties, the Home Care Association of NYS, the AIDS Community Service Providers, the New York Medical Equipment Providers, the United Jewish Appeal-Federation of NY, the Child Advocacy Centers, and the Association of NYS Youth Bureaus.
