The Bloggers

Bill Albert is the Chief Program Officer of the National Campaign and King of All He Surveys.  He has been with the organization since the Taft Administration.  He has a dog named Henry.

Sarah Brown is the CEO of the National Campaign. Sarah's husband doesn't understand why she's been working on the same issue for 30 years. Worst.  Before co-founding the National Campaign, she was a senior director at the Institute of Medicine.  She has dogs named Thatcher and Phoebe and her three daughters want to distance themselves from their mother and remain anonymous.

Andrea Kane is the Senior Director of Policy and Partnerships at the National Campaign.  She works harder than anyone else in the country.  She has tons o experience--twenty years and counting--doing a whole bunch of interesting stuff, including policy work, program and budget analysis, and how to get things done at the local, state, national, and federal levels.

Kelleen Kaye is the National Campaign's Director of Research.   She's really smart and really nice.  Don't believe us?  Check out the smart places she has worked: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, the National Opinion Research Center, the New America Foundation, the U.S. Department of Labor, the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution.

Amy Kramer is the National Campaign's Manager of Media Programs.  She is a recovering journalist, a life-long camp counselor, and an avid surfer of the blogosphere. She loves the movie Sixteen Candles and has a dog named Ranger.

Laura Lloyd is the Senior Manager for New Media at the National Campaign.  Her expertise is rare indeed as it bridges the worlds of health and new media.   Her dog's name is Sammy.

Marisa Nightingale is the Senior Director of Media Programs and Youth Initiatives at the National Campaign. She leads the Campaign's partnerships with the entertainment media and is cool enough to actually be welcomed when she is in Hollywood.  She has a dog named Rocky.

Michael Rosst is the National Campaign's Senior Manager of Communications, Media, and Youth Initiatives.  His is a troubled life.  When he is not tending to his asthmatic kitty, he is catching up on comic books and decontructing the works of indie-licious shoe-gazers like Ted Leo, Zolof the Rock n Roll Destroyer, and Bishop Allen. Yikes.

Isabel Sawhill is the President of the National Campaign.  She is the smartest, wisest, and most athletic person in the United States.  Just reading about all she has accomplished brings otherwise stout people to their knees. Oh yeah, in her spare time she is a Senior Fellow of Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution. Whether you want to discuss the merits of capital gains tax cuts or the rodeo--Belle is your person.

Jessica Sheets is the Manager of the National Campaign's communications program.   She's from Pittsburgh but don't hold that against her. Jessica spends much of her time fretting over our various websites--TheNationalCampaign.org, StayTeen.org and several others we haven't thought of yet.  She doesn't have a dog but she does love Corgis.  

Katy Suellentrop is the Senior Manager of Research and Evaluation Programs at the National Campaign.  She is also really smart.  That's why we call her the math department.  

Kristen Tertzakian is the Assistant Director of State and Local Outreach at the National Campaign.  She travels around the country spreading wisdom and good cheer and has spent most of her adult life on airplanes.  Her last name is hard to pronounce.
