Familiar faces in new places and such things
Shamed Dogan starts today at the Regional Business Council as Higher Education Coordinator. Shamed worked at the NRSC, served as a legislative aide to U.S. Sen. Jim Talent, and most recently served as Deputy Coalitions Director for the Missouri Republican Party. In his new role, Shamed will be helping to coordinate the Higher Education Collaborative.
Megan Werner is joining Kevin Gunn and Rodney Boyd at Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal’s Public Law & Policy Strategies Group in St. Louis. Megan is a veteran of Sen. John Ashcroft’s St. Louis District Office and campaign operation, and ran the St. Louis office of the Corporations Division under then-SOS Matt Blunt.
Another Ashcroft vet, Trent Summers, is moving from the Department of Natural Resources to become a policy advisor for Gov. Blunt. Trent starts in his new role today and will be assisting policy development in the areas of DNR/environmental, agriculture, conservation, and transportation. Trent brings with him a trait rare among young people in politics — the ability to be really smart without constantly feeling the need to remind people how smart he is. He will fit in well with Ed Martin and Rich Chrismer. An excellent pickup for the governor’s office.
