For Logan Ferree, a career in lobbying is a great way to work on the complex problems he enjoys. This meshes perfectly with his role as a Congressional staffer on Hill, focusing on technical and complicated transportation issues. Logan is pursuing his MPP in Transportation Policy, Operations and Logistics at George Mason University to improve his skillset in a specialized field and gain a deeper policy expertise in transportation.
A colleague and BHF Alumni recommended the Bryce Harlow Fellowship to Logan, and he was especially drawn to the opportunity to meet and work with board members who could help him understand his chosen career path. “It’s been a perfect fit to have Kevin Burke as my mentor,” says Logan. “His experience and guidance has been very helpful as I think through my own career path.”
A repeat fellow, Logan reflects on a speech made at last year’s annual awards dinner. Logan says, “One of the honorees spoke about the fact that lobbying is protected under the constitution. That comment really stuck with me and reminds me of the importance of this work.”
