Chip Rogers

Last updated

In October 2012, Rogers held an educational meeting about Agenda 21 for Senators and staffers, at the request of constituents, to discuss "how regionalism and public private partnerships are tearing down constitutionally limited self-government and free market economics." A resolution denouncing Agenda 21 as a threat to private property rights was part of the 2012 Republican National Platform. [49]

Georgia Public Broadcasting

On December 4, Rogers announced he was stepping down from the Senate to take an executive position with Georgia Public Broadcasting. [8] Rogers joined Georgia Public Broadcasting as Executive Director for Georgia Works in December 2012. The Georgia Works blog, written by Rogers, was the most visited such blog on the GPB website, [50] based upon the thirty minute long weekly television program of the same name that covered economic development and employment trends. Rogers worked on the program as Executive Producer [51] and host. The multi-faceted Georgia Works platform included a statewide radio program heard across the 17-station GPB Radio network. Georgia Works programming focused on economic development in Georgia, along with educational, training, and employment opportunities. The program was broadcast statewide and was also broadcast on the GPB website.

Rogers was fired by Georgia Public Broadcasting in 2014 for violations of employment policy including political activity, outside or dual employment, and their code of ethics. [52] [53] His concurrent job as a lobbyist for the Asian American Hotel Owners Association was controversial.

Asian American Hotel Owners Association

Having worked with the organization since 2010, including as its VP, government affairs and public relations, in 2015 Rogers became the President and CEO of the Asian American Hotel Owners Association, after serving as interim President since November 2014. [2] Rogers stated that the organization’s members own about half of all hotels in the United States. [54] In leading the organization, he advocated for non-profit groups to clearly define their goals in order to increase their efficiency. [55] In his role with AAHOA Rogers also served as a member of the Forbes Nonprofit Council, [56] [57] the California State University Hospitality & Tourism Management Education Alliance Advisory Panel, [58] Board member of the American Legislative Exchange Council Private Enterprise Advisory Board, [59] and the Board of Directors for Community Leaders of America.
