The DC Fiscal Policy Institute has a new Senior Analyst — Ilana Boivie — and I hope you will meet her soon in the halls of the Wilson Building, at an advocacy coalition meeting, or at a meeting in our offices! Ilana will focus on efforts to strengthen job training and adult education and to improve the working conditions for people employed in DC.
Ilana has a master’s degree in Economics and has worked in recent years on issues related to retirement security, including private pensions, and on health care policy. She worked most recently for the Communications Workers of America as a research economist.
I am excited to have someone at DCFPI with Ilana’s experience in economics and complex policy issues, passion for income and employment equality, and desire to make DC a better place.
Welcome, Ilana!
