Keane previously served as the Vice President for Government Affairs and Industry Programs with the American Coatings Association where she was responsible for advocacy on behalf of the paint and coating industry in the U.S.

“We are extremely excited to have Alison join our organization. Her vast experience working closely with association members in many areas including environmental issues and government relations will be key to the continued success of the FPA,” said Stan Bikulege, Chairman and CEO of NOVOLEX and FPA Chairman of the Board. “We want to thank retiring President and CEO, Marla Donahue, for the leadership she has given the FPA over the past 16 years.”
