Congratulations to Tara Baas

Congratulations to recent EPE alum, Dr. Tara Baas who has just accepted an

offer to work as a Senior Policy Analyst for AMR Management Services downtown

in the Chase building.

As Tara wrote:

"I am really excited b/c it is a family-owned firm, that
prides itself on family friendliness and taking time to recruit employees
with strong work ethics & good senses of humor/personalities. At least 4 of
the people I spoke with over the course of the past month have told me that
"the grass is greenest" there & that they love their jobs-particularly
because of the team culture and friendly environment. The firm manages (or
consults for) professional non-profits. My primary job will be policy
analysis for one of their larger clients-the National Association of State
Procurement Officials. For some clients, AMR handles things like marketing,
conferences, or other limited areas. NASPO is a client whose entire
association is run by AMR."
