NRA promotes 2

WASHINGTON The National Restaurant Association has promoted Kelly Benedetti to the post of vice president of state and industry relations, and Tim Ehlert to manager of state relations and Save American Free Enterprise Fund.

Benedetti joined the NRA in 2004 as SAFE manager and was named director of the SAFE Fund in 2005. SAFE was formed in 1996 to facilitate the restaurant industry's political efforts at the state level, and since then has contributed more than $6 million to help further the industry's agenda. As director of SAFE, Benedetti helped to create "Mission 08," a two-year offensive campaign designed to provide leadership and financial support.

Ehlert has been with the NRA since 2006 when joined as coordinator for state relations and grassroots. Before that he was a state research assistant for tax analysts in Fall Church, Va.
