He replaces Jano Cabrera who departed the RIAA to serve as Communications Director for former Vice President Al Gore's political action committee, Leadership '02. With his experience on Capitol Hill and working with the news media, Lamy will be an asset to the association's media and public relations efforts surrounding cutting-edge technology initiatives, First Amendment challenges, legislative actions and international policy. "Jonathan's strong knowledge of the media and the legislative process will make a tremendous contribution in our efforts on issues ranging from artistic freedom to intellectual property protection in this new digital era," said Hilary Rosen, President and CEO, RIAA. His half-dozen years of public service on Capitol Hill began when Lamy signed on as a legislative aid to U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), working first on the U.S. Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee and then on the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. Lamy then served as Deputy Press Secretary, where he worked closely with the news media to advance the Senator's agenda. Lamy then was Press Secretary to U.S. Congressman Marty Meehan (D-Mass.). As an on-the-record spokesperson for an active member of Congress, he also worked closely with state and national media on a variety of issues. "We are very excited to have Jonathan join our team," said Amy Weiss, Senior Vice President, Communications. "He brings great experience from his years on Capitol Hill and will be a wonderful asset to the RIAA." Most recently, Lamy served as Press Secretary for the nation's largest anti-hunger advocacy organization, Bread for the World. Working with local and national the media to push the 45,000-member organization's legislative agenda, Lamy was also a key advisor on legislative, political and public relations strategy.
