Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on reappointment of Eric N. Stratton to the CapMetro Board of Directors for a three-year term beginning July 1, 2020, and ending on June 30, 2023.

Eric serves as the Secretary for the CapMetro Board. He is a communications and policy consultant.  Stratton is a strategic planner, policy advisor and a registered nurse.  His early career was spent working various congressional and state legislative races and then for the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association in Washington, D.C., for which he educated congress and association members on energy and environmental policy issues. 
After a life-altering event involving the health of his daughter, Stratton was led to pursue a career in healthcare, became a registered nurse and obtained his Master of Science in nursing from UT Austin, specializing in pediatrics and teaching.  He later returned to public policy as chief of staff for a state representative and helped organize and execute the first Autism Awareness Day at the Texas Capitol.  
Most recently, Stratton spent 5 years with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, serving as a policy analyst for the senior advisor to the executive commissioner and a clinical policy advisor for Medicaid.  There he helped design, procure and implement STAR Kids, the legislatively mandated Medicaid managed care system for children with special healthcare needs.  Stratton also provided clinical and policy oversight for the transition of programs from the Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services (DARS) to HHSC and the Texas Workforce Commission. 
Currently, Stratton and his wife, Jennifer, provide strategic planning, policy and communications consulting services through their business, Stratton Strategies.  They live in the Williamson County part of Austin with their two children.
