From 1990 to 1993, Baroody was the senior vice president for policy and communications, "when he left to become president of the Republican-oriented National Policy Forum. He returned to the NAM in August 1994, to help build the Association’s public affairs program, emphasizing greater involvement by NAM members in lobbying, policy and political activities inside and outside of Washington," his NAM profile states.
"Prior to joining the NAM in 1990, Baroody had been, since 1985, the assistant secretary for policy at the United States Department of Labor. From 1981 to 1985, he served on Ronald Reagan’s White House staff as deputy assistant to the President and director of public affairs. He was research director and later director of public affairs at the Republican National Committee from 1977 to 1980, where he also served as Editor-in-Chief of the 1980 Republican Platform." [2]
"Baroody began his career in 1970 in the Washington office of Nebraska Senator Roman Hruska. He then worked for Kansas Senator Bob Dole, first as his speech writer and press aide at the RNC, and later as the executive assistant in his Senate office.
"Baroody is a board member of the National Center for Neighborhood Enterprise and was chair from 1997-2002. ... Baroody represents the NAM on the Executive Committee of BIPAC, the influential Business-Industry Political Action Committee." [3]
