(Washington, D.C.) March 7,
2006 - The American Meat Institute today
announced that Capitol Hill veteran Dale Nellor
joined AMI as director of legislative affairs
as part of the Institute’s expanded
legislative department.
In his new
position, Nellor will report to AMI Senior Vice
President of Legislative of Affairs Mike
Brown.
Previously, Nellor worked for
more than two years as a legislative assistant
to U.S. Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE). His
responsibilities as a principle advisor to Sen.
Hagel focused on all agricultural issues,
energy, rural development, natural resources
and related appropriations policy. Nellor has
additional agricultural policy advocacy
experience having served as a policy consultant
for the Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation. Prior
to that, Nellor served as a campaign manager
and as an agricultural policy consultant for
several campaigns for seats in the U.S. House
of Representatives.
Originally, from a
row crop and livestock farm in northeastern
Nebraska, he received his B.S. in business
management from Concordia University in
Wisconsin.
“Dale’s legislative and
agricultural policy experience will help
augment the AMI legislative team,” said AMI
President J. Patrick Boyle. “The additional
staffing in our legislative department should
allow us to build upon the representation that
we currently provide our members and increase
our effectiveness on Capitol
Hill.”
AMI also announced the
promotion of two veteran staff members.
Lobbyist Rob Rosado has been promoted to senior
director of legislative affairs and Lynn
Morrissette has been promoted to senior
director of regulatory affairs. Rosado has been
with AMI since 2001. His areas of
responsibility include agricultural and
immigration issues. Morrissette has been in the
regulatory affairs department since joining AMI
in 2000, representing the industry on a wide
array of regulatory issues, such as HACCP and
SSOP compliance matters, as well as
representing the membership before committees
of the Codex Alimentarius.
“Rob
and Lynn have proven track records of
leadership on issues affecting the meat
industry. They will continue to lead coalition
efforts in important areas such as opposing
user fees, immigration reform and the
development of nutrition labeling
provisions,” Boyle said.
