Stauder Joins RCGA as Vice President of Infrastructure and Public
Policy
Susan A.
Stauder has joined the RCGA as Vice President of Infrastructure
and Public Policy. Stauder, who began at the RCGA July 1, brings
to her new position more than 25 years of diverse infrastructure
and public policy experience, and has a strong working relationship
with transportation and public policy leaders throughout the region
and the states of Missouri and Illinois. She succeeds Freeman McCullah,
who retired in May.
Since 1990, she has served in several executive positions at the
Bi-State Development Agency, where she is currently Deputy Executive
Director for Policy and Economic Development. In this role, she
has helped shape Bi-State’s overall operating and strategic development
policies and, in particular, its longer-range plans for financing
and bus and rail service improvements and expansion.
Prior to joining Bi-State, she served as the Director of Planning
and Marketing for the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority.
Previous positions include Managing Director of the Madison and
St. Clair County Illinois Transit Districts; Director of Transit
and Director of Special Projects at the East-West Gateway Coordinating
Council (the St. Louis region’s Metropolitan Planning Organization);
and Program Evaluation Analyst in Finance and Administration with
the Illinois Department of Transportation.
In her new position at the RCGA, Stauder will work to help bring
to fruition the region’s major infrastructure projects, such as
the new Mississippi River Bridge, needed major area road projects,
public transit improvements, as well as providing senior public
policy guidance on a variety of public policy and regional governance
issues.
“I’m looking forward to working with Dick Fleming, Tom Irwin, the
RCGA board, membership and staff to advance important regional projects
that relate to infrastructure and economic development,” Stauder
notes. “Making St. Louis a world-class city depends on the close
cooperation of the business community, civic leaders and elected
officials. I hope I can do my part to facilitate that.”
RCGA’s President and CEO Dick Fleming, notes, “Susan Stauder is
a unique talent. Her depth of experience in transportation and public
policy make her a great asset to the region’s economic development
and public policy efforts.”
Tom Irwin, Senior Vice President of Public Policy at the RCGA, worked
with Stauder for nearly five years at Bi-State. “She’s extremely
bright and has a wealth of experience in infrastructure and public
policy issues,” Irwin notes. “She’s one of the most knowledgeable
people I’ve ever met on transportation issues, and she’s extremely
well respected in the transportation community.”
She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Urban Studies and Geography
from the University of Washington in Seattle.
In 1995, Stauder was selected as one of 10 United States’ transit
managers to participate in the Eno Transportation Foundation’s study
team to Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Hong Kong and Singapore. The team,
jointly sponsored by the Federal Transit Administration, the Transportation
Research Board of the National Research Councils and the Transit
Development Corporation, examined high-tech approaches to the solution
of transit problems. |
