She joins the Washington, DC-based advocacy team working alongside Craig Regelbrugge, Executive Vice President-Advocacy, Research, and Industry Relations; and Evan Lee, Director of Policy, and Government Relations.
Neagu-Reed joins AmericanHort after a decade of working in various government affairs and legislative roles.
