The National Biodiesel Board (NBB) has hired Kate Shenk as Director of Regulatory Affairs.

NBB CEO Donnell Rehagen says Shenk comes to NBB from the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO), where she led a regulatory affairs committee and developed analyses and comments on regulatory policies.

“Kate brings extensive knowledge of the regulatory policies that shape the biofuels industry’s growth,” said Rehagen. “Her addition to our Washington-based federal affairs staff will increase the biodiesel industry’s effectiveness in policy advocacy.”

Nbb is headquartered in Jefferson City, Missouri and maintains a Washington office for federal affairs and work on regulatory issues surrounding international trade and the federal Renewable Fuel Standard.
