National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Chair Jennifer Homendy has named Capitol Hill strategist Jen Adler to head the agency’s Office of Safety Recommendations and Communications.
“Jen has a sophisticated understanding of how the NTSB can best use its limited resources to make progress toward implementing safety recommendations, our most important product,” Homendy said. “We know implementing NTSB safety recommendations will save lives, and we owe it to the victims of transportation accidents and crashes to push as hard as we can.”
Adler brings experience in government affairs, advocacy and communications to her role as director of the office responsible for NTSB external affairs.
She works with Congress, the media, industry, labor and other stakeholders to push for the implementation of NTSB safety recommendations. A former senior vice president with Cassidy & Associates, she was communications director for the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Earlier, she worked for the House Committee on Natural Resources and served in other key roles on Capitol Hill. Adler earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science with a minor in communications from Oregon State University.
