I am honored to select The Maddy Institute as our nonprofit of the year,” said Tangipa, who was a tight end on the Fresno State football team from 2014-18. . “The Maddy Institute provides our next generation of leaders with the opportunity to work behind the scenes in policy making and constituent services.” Over the last few months, we have watched our own Maddy intern, Rayne, excel in her communication skills, constituent outreach, and policy analysis. She has truly become an invaluable part of the team.
