NEWS: Benjamin Olson joining MCEA as Legislative Director
Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy (MCEA)
I’m excited to announce I’ve accepted the Legislative Director position at the Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy (MCEA), an organization “founded on the premise that industry has good lawyers, and the environment needs good lawyers [and lobbyists], too.”
I’ll be working with Minnesotans from across the state to ensure clean water, clean air, healthy ecosystems, a sustainable economy, and improved public health for all. My last day at USC is December 31, 2024. I start at MCEA on January 6, 2025.
The University of Southern California
After five years in Advancement Communications at USC, I bid a fond farewell to Troy, the boisterous university on the frontier. I want to especially thank my colleagues and for everyone who helped make USC a force on sustainability. I’d also like to thank the staff, directors, and fellows at the Dornsife Center for the Political Future which hosts the Climate Forward Conference and so many other important conversations. I look forward to continuing the work to transcend political divides and find common-sense solutions to the challenges we face.
Ben
