Job Quality Fellowship

I’m honored to be named a Job Quality Fellow with the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program.

The 2025 - 2026 cohort is made up entirely of job quality practitioners in the Southeastern US, and I’m proud to represent Tennessee in this dynamic group.

Because I’m an advocate for democratization of information and access to important conversations that are shaping our field (and the lives of working people in America), I’d love to use this fellowship as a way to engage my larger community about job quality, employee ownership, and the business, economic, and place-based strategies that provide a compass for all of us mapping a good future.

Drop me a message below to follow along, learn, and connect your work to this work.

I’d love to use this fellowship as a way to engage my larger community about job quality, employee ownership, and the business, economic, and place-based strategies that provide a compass for all of us mapping a good future.

Drop me a message and I’ll include you in upcoming opportunities to engage more deeply and intentionally as I participate in the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program Job Quality Fellowship.

This could look like: open office hours to discuss what I’m learning in the fellowship, virtual happy hours to celebrate innovative solutions, AMA’s (ask-me-anything), or intentional spin-off conversations with other fellows on specific issues.
