I’m pleased to announce that former NARP intern Matthew Melzer has returned to the NARP staff to serve as Communications Associate.
While interning in our DC office in 2005, Matt gathered and analyzed information on rail advocacy and his experience here. He used this knowledge to write and publish his undergraduate thesis at the University of California, Santa Cruz on the history and near-term prospects of the rail advocacy movement. He earned a Bachelor of Arts with Honors in Community Studies.
Matt then went on to serve as marketing and planning intern for Monterey-Salinas Transit in Monterey, CA, and worked as an ADA paratransit eligibility specialist there.
Matt will be primarily responsible for member and other external communications, including our weekly News Hotline and the monthly NARP News. He will also be the primary facilitator for our long-distance route teams effort. And of course, he’ll write entries for our blog.
Welcome back, Matt!
