Congratulations to our friend and industry partner, Zach Stokes, on his promotion to Director of Public Affairs for IAAPA North America.

During his four years with IAAPA, Zach has played an increasingly important role in advancing advocacy efforts on behalf of the attractions industry. He has helped lead state and federal policy initiatives, developed advocacy strategies, and worked closely with industry leaders to ensure the voice of attractions is heard by policymakers.

Before joining IAAPA, Zach spent more than a decade on Capitol Hill, where he helped shape public policy in Congress. That experience, combined with his passion for the attractions industry, makes him exceptionally well suited for this leadership role.

FAA members have had the opportunity to hear from Zach at our Annual Conference and have benefited from his insight into legislative and regulatory issues affecting attractions across North America. We value our strong partnership with IAAPA and look forward to continuing to work with Zach as he leads IAAPA's public affairs efforts.

Please join us in congratulating Zach on this well-deserved promotion and wishing him continued success in his new role.
