“It is an honor and a privilege to have been selected as a 2017 Rappaport Fellow and to become a part of the larger Rappaport Community. I look forward to gaining a greater understanding of state and local policy making organizations and how such organizations help to improve the lives of all citizens within the greater Boston and Massachusetts communities.” – Micah Jones
