WASHINGTON, DC — The American Bakers Association (ABA) further expands its staff with the addition of Thomas Bailey as director of government relations.
As director of government relations, Bailey will be a pivotal member of the association as it works to advance ABA’s strategic plan.
“Thomas’s deep legislative experience and strategic insight will greatly enhance our government relations efforts, particularly as we focus on making the baking industry a top destination for talent,” said Rasma Zvaners, VP of government relations for ABA. “We are thrilled to welcome him to our team and look forward to his partnership with the industry’s human relations professionals to drive ABA’s ‘Destination Workplace’ initiative forward.”
Bailey most recently worked for the US House of Representatives, covering an array of domestic policy issues. This, in addition to his experience addressing Department of Labor regulations and leading policy development for the House Committee on Education and Workforce, will support the association’s ability to elevate workforce concerns from members of the commercial baking industry to legislators and policymakers.
