Margaret Simms profile headshot
Most of my career has been focused on the public sector, broadly speaking. I have served on local advisory panels for city government and for federal government agencies. I have managed and advised on research projects concerning government services and benefits for different population groups. In most instances, my focus has been on equitable access for disadvantaged populations.
