Elizabeth New (Hovde) of the Washington Policy Center announces name and email address changes
Elizabeth New (Hovde)
Washington Policy Center
I said “I do” to a New man Sunday, and I decided to take his name. I will now write under Elizabeth New for the Washington Policy Center.
I hope the New name change doesn’t confuse too many people too often. For his family’s sake, I also hope that I can stop punning it up. (That’s doubtful. This New life of mine offers so many opportunities to play with words.)
Did you know email servers make changing a name pretty seamless? My New email is enew@washingtonpolicy.org. If you write to me at ehovde@washingtonpolicy.org, I’ll still get it.
Cheers to all things New!
