Jennifer Mendez, Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) vice president for government relations, was elected treasurer of the State Government Affairs Council (SGAC) at the organization’s annual business meeting on Aug. 8 in Chicago. The SGAC is the organization of state government relations professionals representing more than 185 major U.S. corporations and trade associations.
“I have always found great value in SGAC membership. I look forward to working with my peers to help shape SGAC’s programs and move SGAC forward as a first-class organization,” Mendez said.
As treasurer, Ms. Mendez is on a path to become SGAC president in two years.
“During her 10-year career with CRI, Jenn Mendez has shown herself to be a tireless advocate for the carpet industry and its employees,” CRI President Werner Braun said. “Her input with state legislatures on carpet-related issues has been invaluable. It is only fitting she should be similarly recognized among her peers.”
Other newly-elected SGAC officers include: President Mike Thompson, Personal Care Products Council; Vice President Katrina Iserman, Sunovion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; and Secretary Gerard Dehrmann, Walmart Stores Inc.
