We’re pleased to welcome Kathy Fitzpatrick, Senior Project & Mobility Manager
with the Mid-Columbia Economic Development District, as our featured speaker
for Community Affairs. Kathy has been leading regional mobility and transportation
initiatives with MCEDD since 2017, where she promotes a connected and accessible
transportation system throughout the Columbia River Gorge. In her role, she convenes
the bi-state Gorge TransLink Alliance, manages the Get There program across
Hood River, Wasco and Sherman counties, and oversees a variety of
transportation contracts that support public transit coordination and planning.

With a master’s degree from San Diego State University and extensive experience
in government administration, land use planning, project management, and grant writing,
Kathy brings a deep commitment to enhancing rural transportation options. She believes
that expanded mobility not only strengthens economic opportunity but also advances
equity, health, social connectivity, and sustainability across our communities.
