I would like to introduce Jefferson Lab’s new Communications
Manager, Lauren Hansen. She joined us on January 17 . Lauren will
be leading Public Affairs going forward under the new designation
of the Communications Office. This new department name better
reflects the full range of activities conducted by our
communications team including community engagement, media
relations, governmental affairs, internal communications, and
graphics services. <br>
<br>
For over a decade, Lauren served as the face of transportation in
Hampton Roads; first as the Public Affairs and Communications
Manager for the Virginia Department of Transportation ( VDOT ) and
most recently as the Regional Account Director for PRR, a
nationally recognized communications firm specializing in
transportation, energy, health and environment sector
communications. <br>
<br>
Lauren is well known for her work in communications for developing
public relations, marketing and community awareness campaigns that
leverage public sector assets to satisfy stakeholder needs. She
holds a Bachelor of Science in journalism, with a concentration in
public relations and advertising from Northeastern University in
Boston, Massachusetts. She lives across the James River in
Carrollton with her chef husband, eight-year-old daughter and
90-pound poodle. <br>
<br>
Please join me in welcoming her to Jefferson Lab! <br>
<br>
