General Manager and CEO, Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority

The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, commonly referred to as Metro, was created through an interstate compact among the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia and began operations in 1976. With a new 11-mile line extension planned for 2020, Metro has grown to be the second largest heavy rail transit system in the country.

Known globally for its iconic station architecture and high-quality service for millions of residents and visitors to the nation’s capital each year, its reputation as one of the premier American rail systems declined dramatically over the last decade. Deferred maintenance, a lack of a dedicated funding, a complex governance structure and other factors resulted in a crisis of credibility to provide a safe, reliable and financially sustainable rail system.

This lecture will focus on the factors that led to the decline of the rail system, management actions that physically began to rebuild the system, and subsequently, regain customer credibility and confidence and the recognition of Metro’s critical support of the Washington region’s economy and quality of life. All of which provided a foundation for the agency to receive its first dedicated capital funding.

Lecture will begin at 5:30 p.m. Guests are invited to attend a reception beginning at 5:00 p.m.
Reception 5-5:30pm, Lecture 5:30-6:30pm, Q&A 6:30-7pm

The Center for American Women and Politics at the Eagleton Institute of Politics will host a conversation with four of the most prominent African American women political analysts and operatives in the country to discuss their book, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Politics. The program, held under the auspices of the 2019 Senator Wynona Lipman Chair in Women’s Political Leadership, will feature Donna Brazile, Yolanda Caraway, Leah Daughtry, and Minyon Moore.

The Lipman Chair honors the first African American woman in the New Jersey Senate, who was best known as a champion of the rights of women and children and an advocate for small businesses. In her memory, the New Jersey State Legislature established the chair at the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP), a unit of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, to be held by practitioners or scholars involved in issues related to the development of women’s political leadership.

The event is free and open to the public, but RSVP is required.
