Oversaw Causeumentary's financial merger with New Balloon.At New Balloon, we believe that stories of personal evolution have the ability to transform lives. To release the wellsprings of empathy inside us, we create and invest in moving picture content that takes no sides; that cracks open our shells of self-protection; that challenges viewers to experience what it might be like to be someone else - even (especially) someone radically different. We invite viewers to post-screening events to explore the contents' themes, how it impacted their ability to forgive and let live, and how we might learn to lead with such open-minded vulnerability throughout our daily encounters.

MOUNT HOLYOKE COLLEGE NEWS 2005Jo Jensen ’07 Trades Junior Class Presidency for Capitol Hill PositionJo Jensen ’07 reluctantly resigned the position late in the summer to serve as chief of staff for a student lobbying group in DC. While giving up the class presidency was difficult, for a young woman with political ambitions, the opportunity was too good to pass up. Her group, Students for Saving Social Security, is a nonprofit, student-run organization that enlists college students in support of President Bush’s plan to reform Social Security through personal ownership by promoting personal retirement accounts. Despite long hours and makeshift living arrangements, Jensen is getting an extraordinary education in grassroots politics...Jensen, a politics and economics major at MHC, received an email last spring about the new group. When she went to Washington, DC, this past summer to work as an intern for Connecticut Congressman Rob Simmons, she volunteered for S4 in her spare time. It wasn’t long before she was putting in more and more hours with them and ultimately ended her internship so she could work for S4 full-time. “I was planning to come back to school in the fall, but the Social Security issue has taken off. We met with President Bush and Karl Rove in the White House. I thought, ‘Wow, I should stay,’ ” Jensen said.As chief of staff, Jensen has major supervisory responsibilities that keep her working 90 to 100 hours a week. She oversees ten staffers in DC, approximately 60 active volunteers nationwide, and the seven departments within the organization, including education, outreach, and media. In addition, she supervises the more than 230 campus chapters around the country.
