Prior to his employment with the Alliance for Biking and Walking, he worked as an Organization Development consultant with various groups including, but not limited to, the City of Detroit Health Department, Ohio Rail Development Commission, Columbus Gay Men’s Chorus, Bowling Green State University School of Art, and United Christian Fellowship. Jeremy’s education and background include a master’s Degree in Organization Development, BS in Management Information Systems, and four years as a production/quality manager for IBM Global Services.

Nadège Dubuisson joined the Alliance in October of 2009 as our Communications Intern. Nadège is a recent graduate from California State Polytechnic University in San Luis Obispo where she received a BS in City and Regional Planning along with a double minor in Sustainable Environments and the French Language. Having lived in France, the Bay Area, and San Luis Obispo she has gained insight and a great interest in inner city dynamics and design, as well as social behavior that exists in all three regions. She believes that her involvement with the Alliance will not only provide her with a positive and rewarding experience, but that it will also create the opportunity for direct involvement in the advocacy and advancement of healthy and sustainable living principles. While with the Alliance, Nadège will assist in developing the 2009 Annual Report, administer and market the People Powered Movement Photo Contest, write and publish to the Alliance’s blog, and contribute to other general communication tasks.

Shannon Kelley joined the Alliance in January 2010 as our Program Intern. Shannon is a senior at George Washington University where she is studying International Affairs and Nonprofit Management. Throughout her undergraduate experience, she has had the chance to work and volunteer with many issues surrounding education, policy, and advocacy on the local, state, and federal level. Through this work, she became interested in how urban planning could influence the development of students and the greater community. During a summer spent living far from any form of public transportation, Shannon borrowed her younger brother’s bike and immediately realized increased freedom and mobility. Enthused by this discovery, she is excited to work with the Alliance to strengthen grassroots biking and walking advocacy. As the Program Intern, she will be working to support the 2010 Winnings Campaign Trainings and the Advocacy Advance Grants program.
