TechAmerica Hires New State Lobbyist
TechAmerica announced Monday that it has hired Kim Allman to head its state lobbying operations. Allman has many years of lobbying experience on state issues. She spent eight years at the Recording Industry Association of America where she launched and managed the group's state government affairs operation. "Kim has forged one of the private sector's strongest state advocacy networks, making her the perfect choice to bring ours to the next level," TechAmerica President Phil Bond said in a news release.
In addition to working for the RIAA, Allman also has run her own government affairs consulting firm, has worked on state government relations for MCI-WorldCom and was a former press secretary to Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y. Allman is replacing Roxanne Gould, who left TechAmerica for a public policy job at Dell. Allman, whose formal title is senior vice president for state government affairs, started Monday but won't come on board full time until Jan. 1 and will work out of TechAmerica's Washington and Sacramento, Calif., offices. "Technology is fundamental to America's competitiveness and drives growth and productivity in nearly every other segment of the economy. This is a rare opportunity to contribute to an important cause," Allman said in the statement announcing her new job.
