Outdoor Industry Association (OIA) promoted Alex Boian to vice president of government affairs.
A member of the government affairs team at OIA for more than 12 years, officials said Boian has helped expand the group’s policy portfolio from federal public lands, and tax and trade policy, to also include a state and local public lands program, regulatory issues and a campaign to fight the threat of climate change.
“The passion and enthusiasm that Alex brings to his role on the government affairs team is evident in the great achievements we’ve been able to make as an organization,” said OIA Executive Director Amy Roberts. “From policy and business interests of the outdoor industry to focusing on federal public lands policy and tax and trade issues, Alex has overseen substantial strides made by the OIA. We’re thrilled to see what’s next for the government affairs team under Alex’s leadership.”
As vice president of government affairs, Alex will oversee a team of five policy professionals in OIA’s Boulder, CO headquarters and in the Washington, D.C. office. He also serves as treasurer of OIA’s Political Action Committee (OIAPAC).
“I have been fortunate to be at OIA and in the outdoor industry for more than 12 years. I have witnessed the industry’s rise as an economic and political powerhouse and it is an exciting and humbling opportunity to lead OIA’s government affairs department toward even greater things in our future,” Boian said.
