The Mosaic Economic Project, an initiative of the Progressive Policy Institute, welcomed a new cohort of policy experts for its third ‘Women Changing Policy’ workshop, hosted September 13 – 15, 2021. The cohort included a diverse slate of credentialed experts across sectors in economics and technology, including leaders at the Association of American Railroads and Prosperity Now, as well as professors in Marketing, Economics, and Public Policy at Occidental College and the University of Southern California.
The project’s goal is to locate, elevate, and advocate for the inclusion and engagement of experts with diverse experiences and an interest in meaningful policy conversations, with a focus on Congress and the media.
The group of industry and academic leaders heard from experts in the fields of media, strategic communications, and government, including staff of senior congressional leadership and Politico.
