The Household & Commercial Products Association (HCPA) is pleased to announce that Allie Hayes has been promoted to Senior Vice President, Communications, Board Administration & Chief of Staff to the President & CEO.

Hayes, who has been Senior Vice President of Communications and has worked at HCPA for nearly six years, will oversee the alignment of HCPA's communications strategy, board administration, and internal operations and will continue to strengthen relationships with external stakeholders.
