APTS elevates Jennifer Kieley to the position of Vice President in Government Affairs
Jennifer Kieley has been promoted to the position of Vice President, Government and Public Affairs at America's Public Television Stations (APTS), effective last September. This promotion follows Kate Riley's elevation to the position of President and CEO of APTS, which occurred in the same month.
Kieley's career with APTS began in 2003 when she joined as a congressional liaison. Over the past 18 years, she has risen through the ranks, demonstrating exceptional skill, loyalty, and thoughtful leadership. Kieley's deep knowledge and appreciation for the work of APTS, the public media system, the legislative process, and the political landscape are assets to APTS and the public broadcasting community.

In six years at NRECA, she held positions in its grassroots department and became a lobbyist focusing on telecommunications, taxes, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Kieley's new role at APTS will see her managing congressional relations, serving as a state government liaison, working with federal departments and agencies, and overseeing communications, grassroots, and grasstops advocacy.
The position of Vice President, Government and Public Affairs was previously held by Riley, who was promoted to President and CEO. Patrick Butler, the former President and CEO of APTS, retired from the position prior to Riley's elevation.
Kieley's promotion comes after a series of significant changes within APTS's leadership. Riley's elevation to the position of President and CEO followed the retirement of Patrick Butler, and Kieley advanced to the director of government relations in July of 2009. Prior to her promotion to Vice President, Kieley held the position of Senior Director of Government Relations at APTS from August 2023.
