I am heartbroken to have to share with you that Billy Johnson, ReMA’s Chief Lobbyist and employee of 20 years, passed away suddenly on Saturday. It is a shock to all of us who have had the privilege to know and work with Billy over the years.

Billy was a tireless advocate for the recycled materials industry, and for the well being of all of our members. He was incredibly effective at raising our voice on Capitol Hill and within five Presidential Administrations, ensuring that our industry was known throughout Washington and the interests of all members were protected.
