The RV Industry Association (RVIA) has appointed Renee Lyles as its new executive assistant for government affairs and legal, a role that provides critical organizational support to the association’s advocacy and legal teams.
Lyles brings more than 25 years of experience in law firms of varying sizes, positioning her to manage administrative duties that underpin both departments’ operations.
In her new position, Lyles is responsible for tracking invoices, scheduling meetings, maintaining calendars, updating databases, and managing documents for the Government Affairs and Legal teams.
Her dual-role oversight allows her to support the departments as they often collaborate on policy and compliance matters.
“I love the fact that I’m balancing both Government Affairs and Legal,” Lyles said in a News and Insights report of RVIA on February 3. “They often work together, so I have the best of both worlds. I’m excited about this role. It fuels me, and I look forward to seeing where it leads.”
Lyles described her favorite aspect of the position as the interaction with team members. “I love interacting with everyone during team meetings and the individual meetings I attend,” she said.
“Conversations are organic, and it’s a naturally collaborative environment. I feel blessed that I have the position. I feel like everything in the legal arena helped prepare me for my current role, and it’s very exciting,” she added.
Before joining the association, Lyles spent decades in legal practice, navigating offices ranging from small firms to large-scale organizations.
Although new to the RV sector, Lyles is eager to learn about the industry and the association’s work on behalf of its members. “This is new to me,” she said. “I’m looking forward to learning more about RVing, the Association, and everything we do for our members. I’m ready to dive in headfirst!”
