The National Fisheries Institute (NFI) and the Pacific Northwest-based public affairs and marketing strategy firm Strategies 360 said Monday that Justin LeBlanc, NFI’s vice president for government relations the past six years, will join the Strategies 360 Washington, D.C. office in January.

LeBlanc has been NFI's primary lobbyist on Capitol Hill. His replacement has not yet been named.

“We are delighted to add Justin LeBlanc to our existing team of experts in their fields,” said Strategies 360 CEO Ron Dotzauer. “While Justin is committed to continuing his work on behalf of the fishing and seafood industries, he plans to expand his portfolio to include the diverse array of Pacific Northwest and national issues he handled while on Capitol Hill, including agriculture, Native Americans, and the environment.”
