The American Petroleum Institute (API), an organizational member and accredited standards developer of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), has announced the appointment of Linda Schoumacher Rozett as vice president of communications.

Ms. Rozett got her start in Washington at ABC News, where she rose from a desk assistant at World News Tonight to the Washington editorial news producer for Good Morning America. She is a graduate of the University of Virginia.
API is a national trade association that provides advocacy and outreach, research, standards, certification, and education for the U.S. oil and natural gas industry.
