The Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) made two new personnel announcements, naming Camille Gallo as director, communications, and Matthew Glaser as senior director, industry engagement. Both new roles take effect immediately.
Gallo comes to the new position after having served as deputy director of media affairs and strategic communications with the National Republican Congressional Committee. In her new role, she will serve as PLASTICS’ primary link with media, press offices and the trade press for those seeking information, statements and interviews.
“We sought a communications director with a strong background in strategic communications and found that person in Camille,” said Stephanie Strategos Polis, VP of communications at PLASTICS. “Camille has worked both within and alongside the media, giving her a true insider’s perspective. Her seasoned experience combined with her extensive knowledge makes her an incredible addition to our PLASTICS communications team.”
In his new role, Glaser will serve as director for PLASTICS’ Processors Council, and be responsible for managing all activities of the council. He most recently served as senior program manager for global business development with the American Petroleum Institute. His career also includes executive positions with National Association of Chemical Distributors.
“We are fortunate to have Matt join our industry engagement team here at PLASTICS,” said Ashley Hood-Morley, VP of Industry Engagement. “Matt comes to us with an extensive association management background and vast experience leading committees, developing educational programs and growing membership. We are excited to have his expertise enhance our total PLASTICS member experience.”
