Aapa expands government relations team
The American Association of Port Authorities (Aapa) — the unified voice of seaports in the Americas — is welcoming Jen Armstrong and Matt Wiggins to manage Aapa's navigation policy and infrastructure portfolios, respectively.
Armstrong will oversee seaport waterside infrastructure issues and serve as staff liaison to the harbours and navigation committee. She comes to Aaap from the United States senate committee on appropriations, subcommittee on energy and water development.
Wiggins has assumed the role of freight and infrastructure policy associate, to shoulder the responsibilities of advocating for effective landside port policy, including cargo and freight infrastructure and supply chain fluidity. His background is in transportation policy; he joins Aapa from the RV Industry Association where he served as a policy analyst for supply chain and vehicle electrification. (cj)
