We’re excited to share that Joey Adler Ruane – an experienced legislative and policy advocate – will join the OpenSky team as our new policy director on August 1.
In this role, Joey will help lead OpenSky’s policy and outreach efforts.
Joey comes to OpenSky after serving as the Holland Children’s Movement’s Director of Strategic Engagement for almost five years. Before Holland, Joey worked in the State Capitol as a legislative aide, on the frontlines of crafting effective policy.
“We are looking forward to Joey deepening and expanding our partnerships and our policy proposals for a fair tax code and a sound state budget,” said Dr. Rebecca Firestone, OpenSky’s executive director. “He brings a wealth of knowledge, experience and connections from his multiple roles in and around the Legislature and Nebraska’s policy community.
“Having Joey on our team will enable us to take our policy work to new heights and help us advance our mission of improving opportunities for every Nebraskan.”
