New vice-president at FDRA

06/11/2012
The Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America (FDRA) have announced Andy Polk as its new vice-president. He will oversee communications, marketing and member outreach. He succeeds Stephanie Ward, who recently accepted a new position in Seattle.
 
Mr Polk’s background includes the completion of a master’s degree in international relations at the London School of Economics, during which he focused on China’s domestic politics and foreign policy, and received a distinction for his dissertation on how China’s rise is changing the balance of power in the Persian Gulf. Between 2003 and 2011, he worked as a communications and policy advisor for a US politician, Sue Myrick.  
 
“Andy brings vast communications and legislative experience, energy and a global perspective to FDRA. We are thrilled to have him join our team,” said FDRA president, Matt Priest. “Andy is extremely talented and has the rare ability to understand and communicate complex government policies that impact our members and the industry at large. This hire represents a more active FDRA in Washington, as Andy’s role as vice-president will include member outreach and support in addition to communications and marketing.”
