Amista Lipot, Tracy Galway, Misty Crosby, and Alyssa Manning stand at the forefront of the MPP, each bringing a unique set of skills and insights to the table.
Amista, working in the public sector for over 20 years and serving as the Executive Director of the MPP for the past five years, brings a wealth of experience in external relations, communications, and organizational development. Her strategic vision and commitment to nonpartisanship have been instrumental in guiding the MPP toward achieving its goals.

Her extensive background in project management, budgeting, and government services has been invaluable in supporting member cities and fostering collaboration across diverse stakeholders. Tracy's dedication to building strong partnerships and promoting effective governance has been a driving force behind the MPP's success.
Misty Crosby, a Visiting Professor and Senior Executive In Residence for Local Government Services at the Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Service, brings a wealth of experience in government administration and nonprofit management. Her 34 years of experience, two of which have been with the MPP, and expertise in relationship building, volunteer management, and organizational leadership have enriched the MPP's initiatives, contributing to the advancement of local governments and communities.
Alyssa Manning, a senior at Ohio University and the Undergraduate Research Scholar for the MPP, brings a fresh perspective with her academic pursuits in war and peace global studies and political science. As a member of the Red Cross Disaster Action Team, a Community Outreach intern at the Ohio Valley International Council, and an international emergency management researcher, Alyssa's passion for making a meaningful impact on disaster response efforts resonates deeply with the MPP's mission of building resilient communities.
