Additions to the BALLE staff and board
As our organization continues on its critical path of building local living economies, I am thrilled to announce several important and exciting additions to the BALLE team.
Michael Shuman, one of the most respected economists and talented contributors in our movement, has accepted the position of Director of Research and Public Policy effective March 31st. Yes, you read that right. Michael and BALLE officially together at last! His new role allows BALLE to confidently move forward on additional strategic priorities that the Board established at our recent annual retreat. Alissa Barron, Michael's talented associate, will also be joining our staff as Program Manager and with these outstanding additions comes the opening of BALLE's new Washington DC office.
