Reporting to president Steven Rubenstein, Policano will handle clients in the healthcare, nonprofit and real estate categories.

His labor background comes from top PR jobs at the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Workers in DC, its largest local District Council 37 in New York and the United Federation of Teachers.
Policano also served as senior VP-communications at Phoenix House, director of communications at NYC’s City Council and reporter at the Daily News and New York Post.
