Jenna Courtney joined TXPOST in 2019, bringing more than a decade of policy making and advocacy experience from her time in and around the Texas Legislature. She focuses on the full integration of strategic objectives across program areas in order to maximize organizational effort and impact. Through her work, she seeks policy solutions and strives to develop diverse champions to drive progress and change in complex systems.
