Mr. McPartland has twice received the state’s Citation for Outstanding Performance, as well as the Carballo Governor’s Award for Excellence in Public Service. His career has been shaped by a simple mission with complex solutions – helping the government more effectively and efficiently build, preserve and operate safe, stable and affordable homes for families, seniors and individuals with disabilities. His work has led him to interact with a broad array of people – legislators, tenant organizations, attorneys, private developers, federal, state and local government agencies and officials, lobbyists, citizens and others.  In short, the very same type of people Congressional Communities, Inc. will be interacting with.

Mr. Hanlon’s full-length documentary feature, Bill W., enjoyed widespread theatrical distribution across the United States and Canada, and won an Emmy Award after its national broadcast on PBS.  His previous work included project and data management in multiple fields, including high-end real estate transactions and city-wide school board elections for the Board of Elections of New York City.  Mr. Hanlon was the recipient of a Watson Fellowship, which allowed him to pursue independent studies in art and literature in Europe.

Ms. Lander brings a student perspective to the organization and its presentations. As she explains it, “Growing up in the 21st century, I have seen first hand the effects of polarization and lack of compromise across the political aisle. That is why I think it is so important to respect and incorporate views from different perspectives.”
