O'Leary To Lead MPAA's Lobby Team
Michael O'Leary, who once served as counsel to then-Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., is being promoted from senior vice president to executive vice president of government relations at the Motion Picture Association of America. O'Leary will oversee all federal and state legislative and regulatory strategies and work with CEO Dan Glickman on government policy priorities. "Michael has been integral to many of the MPAA's legislative and regulatory achievements over the past several years and in his new, expanded role he will continue to lead our U.S. government affairs team to success in its advocacy efforts," Glickman said in a statement.
MPAA also announced that Greg Frazier, who worked in the Clinton administration, will become executive vice president and chief policy officer. He will be responsible for the association's annual operating plan and coordinating its implementation across departments. Frazier will continue to manage MPAA's U.S. trade policy and to work on international affairs issues. In other lobbying news, the Association of American Publishers has chosen former Rep. Tom Allen, D-Maine, as its new president and CEO. Allen will replace another former Rep. Pat Schroeder, D-Colo. He'll start the first week in April.
