RILA appoints compliance director

The Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) has added Ajani Stewart to its sustainability team within the RILA legal department.



Stewart will be leading the development of RILA’s Center for Retail Compliance (CRC). RILA recently received funding to develop the CRC, a Web-based resource for retailers and stakeholders in the industry to access solutions and information for maintaining and achieving environmental compliance. Stewart is responsible for the development of the center.



Stewart joins RILA from his post as the Environmental Coordinator for the city of Miami’s Office of Sustainable Initiatives, where he helped develop and lead the city’s sustainability and environmental efforts.



“Ajani possesses significant experience with local, state and federal environmental regulatory frameworks,” said Deborah White, executive VP and general counsel at RILA. “His previous work in environmental consulting and with state and federal regulatory programs, make him a great asset to RILA’s member companies and a talented director of the Center for Retail Compliance.”
