Public Knowledge has the pleasure of inviting you to a multifaceted program focused on training and developing the next generation of tech policy experts and public interest advocates that reflects the diversity of voices and experiences in our society.
Please join us for our monthly Career Breakfast Series. This event is designed specifically for students and recent graduates of color, offering insights into tech policy and public interest careers, and providing a platform for individuals from underrepresented backgrounds. This time, you will have the opportunity to have a great conversation with John Lin.
John is a seasoned attorney with extensive experience shaping telecommunications, media, and technology policy on Capitol Hill. He currently serves as Senior Counsel on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, where he has advised the committee on broadband deployment, wireless spectrum, and national security issues. Previously, he was a counsel at the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, where he was instrumental in advancing major legislation–including the Broadband DATA Act, broadband provisions included in COVID-19 relief measures, and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
Lin began his public service as Oversight Counsel on the Senate Budget Committee, launching the committee’s oversight team and leading investigations into wasteful federal spending. Before his Congressional career, he practiced law at Wiley Rein LLP, where he focused on telecommunications and administrative law. He began his career as a personal aide and scheduler for Michigan Governor Rick Snyder. He has a BA, JD, and MPP from the University of Michigan.
Join us at the Gathering Spot on Feb. 6 at 8.30 AM to hear more. This is a private event. However, if you know someone who would be interested in attending, please email michele@publicknowledge.org.
