Hajar Logan

Climate and Transit-Oriented Development Director

Hajar Logan is a 24 year chief officer and operations executive with formal experience in several for-profit industries. Ms. Logan also has 19 years of experience as a business and organizational development consultant with experience building brands, operations and revenues across a variety of industries, working with professionals from diverse backgrounds. Ms. Logan specializes in maximizing work outputs in small teams and managing large contractor and subcontractor expert teams, as well as working with businesses whose operations are funded without loans. Ms. Logan’s work was deeply rooted in building justice and economic empowerment across diverse communities.

Ms. Logan’s career has always been guided by a deep understanding of political, economic and public safety and security realities at a neighborhood, local, regional and national level. As global and local economies are disrupted and there is a transition in personal and neighborhood based opportunity, Ms. Logan sought to pursue professional experience and leadership that prepares for this disruption.

In 2017, Ms. Logan took on a role as a community organizer at the premier organization for training organizers and community leaders in Boston. In a 2 year period, Ms. Logan became a national representative of one of its alliances, and a core community leader of a broadly recognized movement. Ms. Logan’s work focused on real estate development and civic design that is transforming neighborhoods and displacing families.

In 2019 Ms. Logan was hired as the Climate and Transit-Oriented Development Director at Alternatives for Community and Environment. In this role Ms. Logan is asked to organize the local community to build programs that demand just impacts from neighborhood redesign and transit-oriented development. Ms. Logan is also asked to seek and to build intersections with Climate and Environmental Justice that enforce better public health and safety as well as responsible development whose outcomes deliver just impacts for local neighborhoods and the resident families that shape them.
