Public Administration Jobs: James Elekes’ Career Narrative
Jim has nearly 30 years of progressively advancing senior management experience in public transit, human/social services and academia with a focus on all aspects of training, operational administration and regulatory compliance.
He’s principal and founder of Trans-Access Associates, LLC, in South Carolina, which he created in July 2005.
Jim's consultancy focuses on an unmet need he’s identified in the academic, non-profit and public/private sectors: a comprehensive, proactive approach to including persons with disabilities in mainstreamed activities of daily life.
Since its founding, Trans-Access Associates’ contracts have included a major amusement park, two- and four-year colleges and a variety of state entities, all with identified shortcomings in their practices and policies for serving persons with disabilities.
You can read Jim’s complete career narrative on eSight.
Note how Jim’s consultancy matches the needs he has identified with the solutions only he can uniquely recommend due to his long career in the public sector. That’s one of the marks of a successful small business.
