The newly formed technology trade association, TechAmerica, is undergoing staffing changes as part of a restructuring. The group is the result of a recent merger of AeA, formerly known as the American Electronics Association, the Information Technology Association of America, the Government Electronics & Information Technology Association and the Cyber Security Industry Alliance.

Rob Mulligan, who served as senior vice president international for the group, will become a part-time employee. Mulligan managed TechAmerica's D.C.-based international policy staff, oversaw the group's offices in Brussels and Beijing, and represented the tech industry's interests in Washington and abroad.

Chris Hansen, TechAmerica's CEO, will be more actively engaged in TechAmerica's international programs. That effort will now be managed as part of the organization's new commercial policy division led by Joshua Lamel, currently senior vice president for commercial policy and government affairs. Lamel was hired by ITAA last year as a vice president for Internet, telecom, technology policy, and the commercial sector.
