ACP Names Artealia Gilliard as Chief Communications Officer

The American Clean Power Association (ACP) announced that Artealia Gilliard will join the organization as Chief Communications Officer. With over 20 years of experience in strategic communications, public policy, and energy sector leadership, Gilliard will guide the association’s communications efforts to advance American energy production and domestic manufacturing growth as the industry positions itself to meet America’s growing demand.

“Clean energy is leading an all of the above American energy renaissance, but polarized politics remain an obstacle to achieving our economic and security interests,” said Jason Grumet, ACP’s Chief Executive Officer. “Artealia has a strong track record of building consensus and connecting intricate policy issues to everyday American values. She also understands that reliable, affordable, domestic energy isn’t just good policy—it’s good business and good for communities.”

Gilliard has experience leading organizations in the public, private and non-profit sectors. Most recently, Gilliard was head of environmental and sustainability communications and advocacy at Ford Motor Company, where she helped communicate the company’s energy innovation initiatives and American manufacturing investments. Her previous roles include Director of Communications at Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy and Deputy Assistant Secretary of Transportation Policy at the Department of Transportation, where she worked on energy issues.

“I am honored to join the American Clean Power Association at such a critical time for America’s energy future. The clean power industry is driving economic growth, creating jobs, and strengthening communities across the country,” said Artealia Gilliard. “I look forward to working with ACP’s members and stakeholders to tell the compelling story of how American-made clean energy is building a more secure, prosperous, and sustainable future for all Americans.”
