Executive Director Gordon G. Brittan, Jr., guides the Center with his unique blend of intellect, humor, and devotion to "moving the public policy agenda forward."

Associate Director Julie A. Hitchcock is responsible  for the day-to-day functioning of the Center. She holds a Masters in Public Administration from MSU and has worked in both the public and private sectors for the past 20 years. Her work in the travel industry and in the office of University Relations at MSU has given her the opportunity to travel the state extensively and to work with many Montanans involved in business and education. 
Fellows are integral to the planning and execution of Center events.
In keeping with the Center's goal to more closely involve students in the public policy arena, fellowships are offered to several graduate students on an annual basis. Former Fellows are invited to maintain close contact with the Center upon graduation.   Interested?  Email us at wheeler@montana.edu
