AAFA names Burke’s successor
10/06/2014
She takes over from Kevin Burke, who stepped down from the role in January after leading the organisation for 12 years.
“Juanita has demonstrated time and again her relentlessness and dedication to succeed for her clients," said Rick Helfenbein, chairman of AAFA. “Her ability to lead organisations, develop coalitions, and successfully manage complex lobbying efforts and public affairs campaigns is quite impressive."
Ms Duggan was special assistant to President Bush for cabinet affairs from 1990 to 1998.
She said: “This is a great opportunity to up the association’s game in an era of fast-paced change in the industry and the policy world. The apparel and footwear industry is a key driver of economic growth in the US and globally. I can’t wait to tell their story.”
AAFA represents 530 corporate members representing more than 1,500 clothing and footwear brands.
