A new slate of volunteers are overseeing the Consumer Electronics Association's Government Affairs Council (GAC). Comprise of industry leaders, the council is now chaired by Derek Kholpin of Nokia Inc.
“As CEA has grown to become one of the 15 largest trade associations, encompassing more than 2,200 of the nation’s most innovative technology companies, our policy advocacy is consistently ranked by these companies as a top benefit of CEA membership,” says Michael Petricone, Senior Vice President, Government Affairs for CEA. “The diversity of industry segments represented by CEA’s volunteer leaders -– including wireless, in-vehicle technology, broadband, retailers, next-generation networks and content -– demonstrates that CEA truly is the hub of technology industry policy advocacy.”
The following industry leaders will chair working groups within the GAC: Environmental Policy Committee, Mark Sharp of Panasonic Corp. of North America; Energy Efficiency, Theresa Jordan of Motorola; Spectrum Policy, Paul Schomburg of Panasonic and Cecily Cohen of Nokia; Product Safety, Jeff Howell of Toshiba; Telecommunications, Jim Morgan of Sony Electronics Inc.; Trade and Logistics, Brendan Harrington of Eastman Kodak Co.; Intellectual Property, Johanna Shelton of Google Inc.
