Fellow MTASers,

This morning, we welcome Laura Ogle-Graham to the MTAS staff. Laura will serve as Benchmarking Coordinator, the position formerly held by Chris Shults. Laura brings a strong work-related background in data management from her experience with the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development, the Boyd Center (formerly the UT Center for Business and Economic Research) and the Oak Ridge Associated Universities. In all of those assignments, data management, analysis and reporting were significant responsibilities for her. Laura holds a BS degree in communications and a MS degree in Urban and Regional Planning, both from UT. She also is a certified Project Management Professional by the Project Management Institute.

Laura, we’re glad that you’ve joined us. We welcome you and look forward to meeting you and working with you.
