The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) has promoted Adina Renee Adler to vice president of advocacy. In her new role Adler will lead the development and implementation of association’s strategy for advancing ISRI’s advocacy agenda and priorities across all levels of government – state and local, federal and international – as well as with stakeholders throughout the recycling chain.
Adler previously served in the role of assistant vice president of international affairs. She joined ISRI in December of 2016 to represent the industry in international negotiations and to advocate trade-expanding opportunities for the scrap recycling industry. Prior to ISRI, Adina was director of global government affairs for Alcoa and Arconic and international government relations advisor for Shell Oil Company – both positions based in Washington – to advise business leaders on trends in U.S. trade and international policy. Adina also served in the U.S. government as director for South Asia in the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) and International Trade Specialist at the U.S. Department of Commerce, both assignments responsible for U.S. commercial and trade policy with the countries of South Asia.
The role of vice president of advocacy replaces the position of vice president of government relations, previously held by the late Mark Reiter, who passed away in January of this year after a career of nearly 30 years at ISRI.
