WASHINGTON, DC – This week, the U.S. Agriculture Coalition for Cuba (USACC) selected USA Rice Vice President of Government Affairs Ben Mosely as a co-chair of its Legislative Committee. The Legislative Committee works to manage the Coalition’s collective federal lobbying efforts to remove financing and trade barriers currently in place with Cuba.
USA Rice is one of USACC’s founding members and makes up one of more than 100 organizations that share a similar goal of normalizing agriculture trade with Cuba.
Devry Boughner Vorwerk, chair of the USACC, said, “Ben has been a strong contributor to our legislative efforts and is a strategic and innovative thinker on Hill strategy. We are pleased that he is willing to step up and lead.”
In reference to his new role, Mosely said, “USA Rice has been working to end this embargo for decades so it makes sense for us to hold a leadership role in the Coalition and help provide direction for our momentum.”
Mosely concluded, “We plan to ramp up our advocacy efforts on the Hill before Congress heads out of town for summer recess and look forward to building on our existing successes over the last 18 months.”
