Cigar Association of America (CAA) announced today that it has expanded its team by having Mudi Kpohraror join as the new State Government Relations Director. Mudi will report to Vice President Chris Newbry.
David Ozgo, CAA’s president, said “Mudi will continue to enable and advance how we advocate on behalf of our member companies to ensure that they have an active voice at the state level. Chris Newbry does an amazing job working with and directing our more than 40 state government affairs consultants across the country. With Mudi, we will add to our capabilities. We couldn’t be more thrilled he’s joined the team.”
Kpohraror comes to CAA with experience working in state legislatures across the country, including time working at Twitter, the office of US Senator John Hoeven, and the North Dakota Republican Party.
