Sean Tenner has spent his career working with non-profits involved in public health and human rights issues. As the KNI Communications president, Sean Tenner leads his team in campaign management, issue advocacy, communications, public affairs, and business promotion. They pride themselves on their numerous victories.
One such victory was the passage of four pieces of breast cancer legislation in the Illinois General Assembly. The legislation, which passed by an overwhelming majority, included insurance coverage for breast cancer screenings, insurance coverage for medical costs related to cancer clinical trials, the establishment of numerous crucial new state programs to fight breast cancer, and insurance coverage for potentially lifesaving clinical breast exams.
Another notable victory was working on a bipartisan basis with congressional leaders to obtain $4.5 million in State Department funding to help victims of slavery in the west African nation of Mauritania as well as the surrounding region. Such funding goes a long way to help the anti-slavery movement. Tenner co-founded the Abolition Institute - which works on the issue - in Chicago, IL
