The U. S. Chamber of Commerce announced Brian Noyes, President and Senior Consultant with Brock Clay Government & Public Affairs, will be the 2011 Chairman for the Chamber’s Southeast Public Affairs Group.
The Southeast Public Affairs Group brings together professionals in government affairs and with chambers of commerce in a series of informational forums to exchange information on the most critical issues facing business at the federal and state levels. Members from eight states, VA, NC, SC, TN, AL, GA, FL and MS gather throughout the year to interact with experts in policy and politics.
Since 2005, Noyes has guided the government affairs division at Brock Clay and developed an integrated approach to the firm’s services by combing lobbying, public relations and grassroots organization. Prior his current practice, Noyes served in a variety of senior roles in government and campaigns. He was appointed to the George W. Bush Administration as the Southeastern Regional Director, and later as a Senior Advisor to the Deputy Secretary, at the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In 2000, Noyes was the Southeastern Political Director for the Bush-Cheney presidential campaign and in 2004 served at the Republican National Convention in New York and RNC in Washington, DC. Mr. Noyes started his career working for the late US Senator Paul Coverdell of Georgia.
Noyes will work with Southeastern Regional Director, Moore Hallmark, to develop the program and Chair the group’s programs during the year.
