The North Carolina Outdoor Advertising Association has announced that it has appointed Thomas (TJ) Bugbee, Jr. to serve as its full-time Executive Director, effective November 19.  Bugbee, a former Field Director for Congressman David Rouzer’s campaign (NC-7), has most recently held a position as Government Relations Advisor/Lobbyist with Nexsen Pruet in Raleigh.  In that role, he advised numerous businesses and non-profit associations.
