NRF Bolsters Leadership Team to Champion Retail Industry
The National Retail Federation (NRF) has bolstered its leadership team with two strategic promotions and a high-profile hire. Mercy Beehler joins as Vice President of Government Relations, while Meghan Cruz steps up to Vice President, Advocacy and Engagement. Both will report to Jason Straczewski, newly appointed Group Vice President of Government Relations and Political Affairs.
NRF's enhanced advocacy team, alongside its policy experts, will now provide robust support to state retail association partners, retail business leaders, and policymakers nationwide. Beehler, with her extensive background in online retail and technology, will drive NRF's advocacy agenda on critical issues such as data privacy, AI, and workforce development. Cruz, in her new role, will strengthen engagement with retail business leaders and policymakers.
Retail, the nation's largest private-sector employer, contributes a staggering $5.3 trillion to the annual GDP and supports over 55 million jobs. With these strategic moves, NRF is poised to navigate the complex political landscape and advocate effectively for the retail industry.
NRF's strengthened leadership team, led by Jason Straczewski, will work closely with Mercy Beehler and Meghan Cruz to advance the retail industry's agenda.
