    The whole communications schmeer for the Rendell Administration's Dept. of Education -- planning, message development, proactive and reactive media spokesman, materials (releases, op-eds, talking points, speeches) coaching/advice/guidance​ -- for education execs, and for Gov's office for the big-deal stuff. Bagged after several months by new Corbett Administration because new administrations bring in their own people. No hard feelings; can't say I blame 'em.

    I do press secretary-ish stuff that helps get the media attention we want and deal with the attention we don't. We get the word out about DCED's programs and highlight Gov. Rendell's efforts to create jobs, grow businesses and revitalize communities. We prep DCED execs and the Gov for public appearances and contacts with the media. We convert boring, wonky policy stuff to make it more-or-less interesting for media and public who would otherwise exercise their right-to-not-care.
