The Business Council of Alabama (BCA) announced on Thursday that veteran Alabama political strategist Tim Howe will serve as the organization’s new chief advocacy officer.
According to the BCA, Howe will “help guide BCA’s strategic initiatives, support advocacy efforts on behalf of the state’s business community, and work closely with state and local leaders to advance policies that strengthen Alabama’s economic competitiveness.”
He will officially join BCA in December.
Helena Duncan, president and CEO of the Business Council of Alabama, said, “Tim Howe is one of the most capable and respected leaders in Alabama’s public affairs arena. His depth of experience, strategic insight, and proven ability to navigate complex policy environments will be an extraordinary asset to BCA and the businesses we represent.”
“Tim understands what it takes to move Alabama forward, and we are fortunate to have someone of his caliber joining our executive leadership team,” Duncan said.
Howe brings over two decades of experience in government relations, public affairs, and strategic consulting to the organization.
“President Trump and our federal and state leaders have positioned Alabama to thrive in the 21st-century economy,” Howe said. “It is an honor to be part of the effort to capitalize on that opportunity. BCA members employ Alabamians in every community across the state, and our team will work tirelessly to advocate for the principles and values at the core of their success.”
Howe most recently served as chief of staff to State Sen. Pro-Tem Garlan Gudger (R-Cullman), overseeing the chamber’s daily operations and guiding major legislative initiatives.
Before working for Senate leadership, Howe was a founding partner of a governmental affairs firm, where he represented businesses and professional associations across multiple industries at the state and local levels.
