Changes Inside FCC Media Relations
At the same time it was announced that Anne Veigle (below, left), has been named as the FCC’s new Deputy Director of Communications. Veigle joins the Commission from the Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration, where she served as Director of Public Affairs. Will Wiquist (center), currently the FCC’s Deputy Press Secretary, has been promoted to Associate Director of Communications and Policy Advisor, and Katie Gorscak (right), has been upped to Sr. Communications Advisor, transitioning from her role as Director of Communications of the agency’s Connect2Health Task Force.
Pai continued, “I also want to thank Tina Pelkey for her fantastic work during her nearly three years at the Commission. She has been incredibly responsive both internally and externally, has shown outstanding strategic thinking and leadership, and has been an excellent writer and speaking coach (not that I’ve slowed down my speaking quite as much as she would like!). And on a personal note, I’m very grateful for her friendship — I’ve really enjoyed our conversations about the Kansas City Chiefs (our favorite team), our families, and all sorts of other matters. We will all miss Tina, and I sincerely thank her for her public service.” [Photos from LinkedIn]
