Administrative and Development Associate
National Center for Transgender Equality
Lauren Dow enjoys her administrative and development associate position as an opportunity to provide operational support to the critical work of the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE).
She joined NCTE following a presidential appointment to the Office of the Under Secretary for Policy at the U.S. Department of Transportation where she worked on programs that encouraged new and diverse voices to join the transportation decision-making process. She also worked in both the U.S. Senate—for her home-state senator—and the U.S. House of Representatives during an internship through the Victory Congressional Internship program.
While living in Springfield, Dow sat on the Board of Directors of the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of the Ozarks. She now volunteers for causes of children’s advocacy, particularly family court and homeschool reform.
