Josh Wise is the Managing Director and Publisher at Public News Service. Josh got his start working for social progress when his mom gave him baseball card money for helping with a fundraising mailing when he was 6. He still has an affinity for putting labels on envelopes. Since then Josh has held leadership positions in the sector for over a decade including as the Director of Development and Communications at the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, Executive Director of One Voice Mixed Chorus – North America’s largest LGBTQ mixed choir, and Executive Director of the Minnesota and Illinois Fair Trade Coalitions. Josh has a BA from Macalester College and Masters in Public and Nonprofit Administration from Metropolitan State University, and a Special Engineer’s license from the state of Minnesota which means he can operate low-pressure commercial boilers. It’s a long story. He lives in St. Paul, MN.
