COG is thrilled to see executive director Clark Mercer recognized for the second year in a row as part of Washington Business Journal's Power 100. With Clark's leadership, COG is leading the charge alongside Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) to develop a unified vision for the region's transit network, championing affordable housing initiatives, zeroing in on strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions for a sustainable future, supporting collaboration among federal, state, and local public safety agencies, and much more. The work continues in 2025 and beyond!
Grateful to lead the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments and to receive this recognition as part of the Washington Business Journal's Power 100. There is so much fantastic work being accomplished in this region and many great partners are listed here. This recognition is also a challenge-- much more to be done and looking forward to it. Onwards!
