Prior to founding GeM Communications Group, Ms. Moore distinguished herself as a member of the California Assembly for 16 productive years: 1978-1994.

Ms. Moore was active with the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), serving as both Chair of the State-Federal Assembly and the Assembly on the Legislature -- the two major components of NCSL.
Ms. Moore also chaired the NCSL National Committee on Telecommunications and Transportation and served as chair of the National Trade Association of State Legislators.
Because of her national stature, gained as the author of landmark legislation, she has testified before Congress regarding telecommunications, utilities, transportation, and business issues. As chair of the State Federal Assembly, she lobbied Congress on behalf of NCSL, representing the rights of states across this country.
Her reputation as a problem solver and coalition builder has led to her appointments on numerous committees, and commissions. One important appointment has been to membership on the Commission on California State Government Organization and Economy, the "Little Hoover" Commission.
