INDA has named experienced policy advocate Jennifer Greenamoyer as its new director of government affairs to raise the association’s profile in Washington, DC. Greenamoyer brings 25 years of experience at associations, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and on Capitol Hill. Greenamoyer will take on responsibility at INDA from February 22.
At INDA, she will serve as the liaison between the industry and government legislative and regulatory bodies by preparing formal submissions to the federal government articulating industry positions, and representing INDA on the Industry Trade Advisory Committee for Textiles and Apparel (ITAC 13) among other responsibilities in this key position, INDA said in a press release.
“With her excellent experience and capabilities, Jen will be a great asset to INDA’s members by advocating on issues that directly impact our members and raising INDA’s profile with policymakers and government and business organisations in Washington, DC,” said Dave Rousse, INDA president. “She will play a critical role in supporting INDA’s new strategic plan that includes advocating for the nonwovens industry in public policy forums and achieving industry relevance among key stakeholders.”
“I am excited about this new opportunity to join INDA to be part of bolder and more strategic advocacy efforts for the nonwovens industry,” Greenamoyer said.
Greenamoyer began her career working at the EPA in the office of water and then the office of policy. Greenamoyer also trained EPA staff on regulation development and worked on small business regulatory relief. On Capitol Hill, Greenamoyer worked as professional staff for the house committee on small business where she specialised in regulations about environmental and labor issues.
As director of external affairs for the Sea Grant Association, she secured annual appropriations, monitored legislative developments, and represented the association to federal agencies and the Administration on issues of interest, funding opportunities and joint programmes.
