Two new members of the FCC’s Media Bureau leadership staff are being welcomed by the Commission. One is presently in the Office of Legislative Affairs. The other is a legal advisor to the Chief of the Media Bureau and has held the role since 2019.
Joining the Front Office as Deputy Bureau Chief is Lori Maarbjerg.
Concurrently, Evan Morris is now Associate Bureau Chief.
“The Media Bureau is fortunate that Lori and Evan will be part of the Front Office leadership,” said Media Bureau Chief Holly Saurer. “Their expertise, dedication to public service, and unfailingly good judgment will be vital to the Bureau.”
Maarbjerg is currently the Chief of Staff in the Commission’s Office of Legislative Affairs (OLA), where she serves as the primary liaison with Capitol Hill offices on media issues, as well as other Congressional-related matters. Prior to her current position, she was a Senior Attorney Advisor in OLA, where she joined the Commission in 2002.
Maarbjerg has also served as an FCC detailee to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, Subcommittee on Communications and Technology, U.S. House of Representatives. Before joining the Commission, she was a former Legislative Counsel and Assistant General Counsel for the NAB.
Morris joined the Commission in 2013 as an Attorney Advisor in the Media Bureau’s Video Division. Prior to public service, he worked in Government Affairs at Harris Corporation (now L3Harris), primarily advocating for the Broadcast Division (now GatesAir), and in Legislative Affairs for Cablevision Systems Corporation (now Altice USA).
