New Arrival for Advocacy Advance

We’re delighted to welcome Brighid O’Keane to the Advocacy Advance team. Brighid, pictured below with Jeff Peel and Bill Nesper from the League staff, is actually a brand new employee of the Alliance for Biking and Walking and will be working alongside Jeff and Darren Flusche on our joint advocacy advance initiative that is supported by SRAM.

The team is working on an exciting series of resources and training materials for state and local advocates that will help unlock more Federal funding for biking and walking – Brighid has a ton of experience with effective communication techniques that will be a great help as the team hits the road for training courses later this year.
