Kaitlin Passafaro: A long history with City Hall
Earlier this month when Mayor Walsh announced the transition of several City Hall staff into new leadership positions in his administration, Kaitlin Passafaro, a lifelong Dorchester resident, was named director of the office of Intergovernmental Relations, which coordinates interactions between municipal, state, and federal governments, assists City departments with advocacy and prospecting for public and private grants, and helps determine the mayor’s legislative agenda.
Passafaro, the daughter of former District 3 City Councillor Maureen Feeney, most recently served as director of policy in Walsh’s Office of Economic Development. She began working at City Hall in 2010 as a correspondence and advance assistant in the mayor’s office. She is a graduate of Boston Latin School and holds a bachelor’s degree from Boston College and a master’s from Suffolk University.
