WASHINGTON — The Association for Accessible Medicines is filling out the ranks of its state government affairs team with experienced hands. The organization has brought on Brett Michelin as the team’s director and Ashlie Van Meter as senior director.

“We are excited to welcome Ashlie and Brett to the AAM team,” AAM vice president of state government affairs Carrie Hartgen said. “The depth and breadth of their experience in government affairs will be an asset to AAM's state affairs department.”
