The National Biodiesel Board is welcoming a new face to its great communications team.

This NBB press release announces the addition of Jessica Robinson, a veteran communicator, as the group’s Senior Communications Specialist:

Robinson has been involved in the communications industry for more than a decade, most recently serving as Press Secretary for Missouri Governor Matt Blunt when the state adopted a ten percent ethanol standard, and for the first time began fully funding biodiesel incentives. Robinson has worked in radio and television news stations in New Mexico, Missouri and Florida. She is a graduate of the University of Missouri’s School of Journalism.

“Jessica’s experience as a communications professional and spokesperson will help build on NBB’s progress combating many of the industry inaccuracies that arose in the past year,” said Jenna Higgins Rose, NBB Director of Communications. “I’m confident that Jessica will be an outstanding addition to our communications team as the biodiesel industry continues to grow.”

Personally, I’ve known Jessica for many years… from my earliest days of when I first moved to Missouri nine years ago… just about as long as I’ve known Chuck and Cindy Zimmerman. She’s a straight shooter who’s not afraid to be a strong advocate for the cause she’s behind. Trust me folks, she’s a BIG catch for an organization that’s on the rise.

Good luck and welcome aboard, Jessica!
