Altman is a frequent public speaker and broadcast media guest. He is a subject matter expert in strategic communications. And his work has appeared in publications and books around the world.
“Altman is a sharp and energetic presence in our industry and now, we are happy to say, on our board,” said John M. Donnelly, a reporter for CQ Roll Call who is president of MRE. “Our members should be thrilled that he is working on their behalf.”
