>Biography
>
>Jonathan Morgenstein recently returned in March
>after seven months as a Civil Affairs Officer in Ar
>Ramadi, Iraq.  In Ramadi, Jonathan's primary
>responsibility was to build relationships with key
>figures and regular civilians in local communities.
>While his primary objective was to facilitate
>stabilization of the city and the establishment of
>viable governing and security structures, he regularly
>supported Cordon and Search operations, conducted to
>find insurgents and weapons.  His role in these
>missions was to mitigate the negative impact of these
>military actions on the local civilian population.
>Jonathan was key in bringing NGOs to the Ramadi region
>for the first time in over a year.
>
>Prior to Iraq, Jonathan served as the primary
>intelligence analyst at Marine Forces Europe for the
>next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General
>Peter Pace, and subsequently worked as an analyst on
>the Joint Chiefs' Iraqi Working Group staff at the
>Pentagon.  He holds a BA in Government from Cornell
>University, an MA in Teaching from the University of
>New Hampshire, and an MA in International Policy
>Studies from Stanford University.  Presently, Jonathan
>is the Virginia Director of Generation Engage, a
>non-profit dedicated to involving non-college educated
>18-24 year olds in the political process.
