The National Association of Broadcasters announced that Carrie Healey has been named vice president of communications.
According to a release, Healey will serve as NAB’s primary spokesperson and media relations strategist to advance radio and TV policy priorities before Congress and the Federal Communications Commission.
She succeeds Alex Siciliano, who moved on as NAB’s senior vice president of communications earlier this year.
Healey will report to Michelle Lehman, its chief of staff and executive vice president of public affairs, and she will lead its press team that includes Grace Whaley, NAB’s director of communications and social media, and Judianne Meredith, its communications coordinator.
Healey most recently served as a client engagement lead at PR firm Purple Strategies, where she developed communications strategies for advocacy and public affairs campaigns on behalf of clients across a range of issues.
She also brings media industry experience to NAB from her roles at AOL, The Grio and MS NOW — formerly MSNBC.
