Dr. Bremer is a policy analyst, researcher, and economist with over 35 years of experience in governance reform and private enterprise development in the United States and more than 30 countries. She currently focuses on public governance reform in North Carolina, where she serves as a member of the League of Women Voters of North Carolina board and leads the League’s statewide redistricting reform team.
She also leads Fair Districts NC, a coalition of North Carolinian organizations working to foster redistricting reform. In 2018, she led a study team examining alternative approaches to redistricting reform under consideration in states that, like North Carolina, do not have citizen-initiated referendum, which led to the formulation of five principles for reasonable redistricting reform as a sound basis for redistricting reform in North Carolina.
Prior to her retirement in 2016, she divided her career between academia and professional roles with leading organizations in the international development field, including establishing and chairing the Department of Public Policy and Administration at the American University in Cairo and heading the Kenan Institute Washington Center (a program of UNC’s business school). She holds a PhD in public policy from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, an MA from Stanford University in development economics, and a BA cum laude from Barnard College of Columbia University.
