AVM Announces New Leadership Team

Please join us in congratulating American Vapor Manufacturers (AVM) president and co-founder Amanda Wheeler as she advances to the next stage in her career. Amanda will join Philip Morris International as the company’s Southwest Regional Director for State Governmental Affairs, where she will continue her work as a tireless tobacco harm-reduction advocate. 

As Amanda moves into an advisory role with AVM, we are excited to welcome Char Owen and Allison Boughner as our incoming President and Vice President, respectively. Under their leadership, we remain committed to helping our members navigate a challenging regulatory environment and holding public officials and reporters accountable. 

We would like to thank Amanda for making AVM the center of gravity in the battle for the right to switch to nicotine vaping. Among our many victories under her stewardship, AVM has exposed rampant corruption at the FDA and uncovered the network of billionaire donors funding anti-vaping astroturf groups and prohibitionist causes.  

We will build on the groundwork Amanda laid as we defend the right of all Americans to lead smoke-free lives.
