MITA reorganizes, names Rodriguez executive director
Medical Imaging and Technology Alliance (MITA) has appointed Gail Rodriguez, PhD, executive director and reorganized senior staff.
The staff reorganization is designed to enhance the trade association’s imaging and bipartisan public policy expertise, Washington, D.C.-based MITA said.
In addition to being promoted to executive director at MITA, Rodriguez has been named a vice president at National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), the association of electrical equipment and medical imaging manufacturers.
In her new role, Rodriguez will be responsible for all day-to-day activities at MITA. She was previously a director of policy at MITA, where she oversaw the association’s x-ray imaging products section. She also directed the MITA PET group, including leading its regulatory, educational, health economics and coverage initiatives. Prior to coming to MITA, Rodriguez directed policy and business development for the industry group Institute for Molecular Technologies.
Charles S. Konigsberg joins NEMA and MITA as chief of strategy and policy. He has served in senior-level positions in the U.S. Senate, the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and nonprofit organizations. Konigsberg was general counsel and chief health counsel at the Senate Finance Committee under Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-N.Y.), a staff attorney at the Senate Budget Committee for Sen. Pete Domenici (R-N.M.), the assistant director at OMB in the Bill Clinton administration and director of congressional and intergovernmental affairs at the corporation for national and community service in the George W. Bush Administration.
Lindsay Morris, previously director of government relations, also has been promoted to senior director. In this role, Morris will enhance MITA’s outreach and advocacy efforts with lawmakers and staff on Capitol Hill. Morris has been with MITA for three years.
