Changes At Compete America
Compete America, the industry group focused on labor immigration policies, has hired Monument Policy Group to manage Compete America's lobbying efforts in 2010. In addition, Monument Partner Jessica Herrera-Flanigan and the firm's Senior Vice President Scott Corley will serve as executive directors for Compete America, the group said Tuesday.
The bipartisan team - Herrera-Flanigan has worked for congressional Democrats while Corley has worked for Hill Republicans - will help Compete America push policy makers to enact changes to the nation's employment immigration system that would allow more foreign students and workers to remain in the United States. Specifically, the group is pushing for changes to the nation's green card system and for a market-based approach to allocating H-1B visas for skilled foreign workers.
"It is clear that for any legislative initiative to be successful, it must have bipartisan support," Compete America Co-Chairman Dejan Pavlovic, Oracle's senior director of government affairs, said in a statement.
