  <title><![CDATA[Robbie Ashe III Joins School of Public Policy Board of Advisors]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The Georgia Institute of Technology <a href="https://spp.gatech.edu/">School of Public Policy</a> recently announced that Robbie Ashe, chairman of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) board,&nbsp;will join the School&#39;s Board of Advisors.</p>

<p>Ashe has long been a key figure in Atlanta&rsquo;s legal and civic communities. He is&nbsp;a partner at Bondurant Mixson where he represents both plaintiffs and defendants in state and federal courts. Prior to Bondurant Mixson, Ashe clerked&nbsp;in the Georgia Supreme Court and the Georgia Court of Appeals.</p>

<p>His experience in Atlanta government is similarly robust. In addition to serving as the intergovernmental affairs manager in the Mayor&rsquo;s Office of the City of Atlanta, he has also been elected&nbsp;by his colleagues to serve as MARTA&rsquo;s&nbsp;chairman of the board for 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018.</p>

<p>The School of Public Policy is a unit&nbsp;of the Georgia Tech&rsquo;s Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts.&nbsp;</p>

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
