Sonenshein to take over Pat Brown Institute

Rahael Sonenshein, a political science professor, author and expert on governance, was named today as new executive director of the Pat Brown Institute of Public Affairs at Californa State University, Los Angeles.
Sonenshein, who served as executive director of the Appointed Charter Reform Commission, will replace Jaime Regalado, who is retiring. The institute is a non-partisan public policy center.
"It's a great honor to follow in the footsteps of Jaime Regalado," Sonenshein said. "PBI is a jewel, one that reflects the vision of the great governor for whom it is named, and the work of the many people who built and have sustained it for more than two decades."
Sonenmshein is scheduled to take over in February.
