Rarely haveI encounteredflacks as inept and arrogant as Elizabeth Kaltman (wholeft the MPAA in the finish of the summer time forWalt Disney Art galleries, where I'll ensure to not workwith her) and her bossHoward Gantman, the MPAAs V . p . Corporate Communications. Now Gantman might have another person in control: He'll be verifying tofresh hire LauraNichols, now EVP Global Communications, incorporated inside a completely new business structure.She's extensive connection with both private and public industries.Nichols will oversee all worldwide and domestic communications, media relations, new media development and special events. Nichols formerly offered as Senior Fellow and Senior V . P . for Communications and Techniques within the Center for American Progress, a respected Washington, Electricity think tank. One of the original designers of CAP, she brought to building the institution and leading its proper planning since its founding in 2003. Before joining CAP, Nichols was SVP Corporate Communications at Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). She formerly was a real estate agent, strategist and representative for House Democratic Leader Richard Gephardt, and offered as Press Secretary for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and former US House Repetition.
