Lily Linke joined CHAPA in February 2021 as the Municipal Engagement Program Associate. In her role as MBTA Communities Engagement Senior Manager, Lily provides technical support to municipalities for their education, engagement, and outreach efforts around the new MBTA Multifamily Zoning requirements (3A).
Lily received her BFA in Theatre Arts from Boston University, and her MA in Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning from Tufts University. She turned her Masters' thesis on the intersection of walkability and race into a podcast called Foot Notes. She brings her years of experience in arts education to her work as a facilitator and organizer, and she believes strongly in the power of storytelling to build a better world.
In her spare time, Lily enjoys hiking with her husband and two dogs, trying new recipes, and advocating for safer streets in her hometown of Somerville.
