MAG names chief of staff, transportation officer

Posted

The Maricopa Association of Governments has named Audra Koester Thomas as its new chief of staff and John Bullen as the agency’s chief transportation officer.

The two staff members will serve under the direction of Executive Director Ed Zuercher in the newly created MAG roles.

Thomas and Bullen most recently helped in developing the long-range regional transportation plan known as MOMENTUM 2050 and spearheading MAG’s legislative efforts to allow voters to extend Maricopa County’s dedicated half-cent sales tax for transportation, Zuercher said.

“Their strategic talent and ability to facilitate consensus will play a central role in ensuring high-level policy support and service to our 32 member agencies."
