Our Story

Founded in January 2024, Good Governance Consulting began as a way to support impact organizations with strategic government relations by combining the founder's Maryland political expertise with deep knowledge and understanding of PK - 16 education and workforce development. What began as an idea to leverage cutting-edge AI technology to serve citizens, advocates, and organizations, has evolved into a comprehensive platform and approach to transform how people navigate state advocacy and policymaking.

Good Gov AI started from a simple observation: the bridge between policy and implementation was inefficient, and the cause? The people who were most affected were often under-represented in the process, whether it was coordinators, teachers, or citizens. We believed technology could democratize this access while making professionals more effective. By empowering citizens and professional advocates with innovative AI tools, knowledge, and support, we transform how people navigate complex political systems and achieve meaningful outcomes.

Our Founder Johntel Greene brings over 15 years of session experience at the Maryland General Assembly. Her unique background combines political expertise with change management and digital transformation leadership. She is passionate about using technology to democratize access to government and make advocacy more effective for everyone.

AI Consulting for Government Relations Certification and Training was started because we saw what was coming. Big tech companies are already knocking on government's door with self-interested AI solutions that don't understand how Maryland actually works—or care about the ways state policy changes affect real communities. We believe the people who know government best should be the ones shaping how AI gets used, not outsiders looking to make a quick profit.

Partnering with Rich Goldman, PhD, of LobbyLinx and Advokit, we guide Government Relations firms in the development of custom training and solutions, starting with our premiere AI in Government Relations Certification program. Rich has been building tech in our industry for years he uses his deep technical expertise to guide the technical assessment and development of custom solutions. We are driven to ensure our AI platform meets the real-world needs of political professionals.

Why Maryland First?

We're starting in Maryland because we know it best. Our deep relationships and understanding of Maryland's unique political culture allow us to build and test solutions that truly work. Once perfected here, we'll expand to help people engage with government across the nation.
