LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15 (UPI) -- Carol Lombardini has been named North America's President of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, it was announced Thursday.

AMPTP is the entertainment industry's bargaining representative in labor negotiations with the motion picture industry guilds and unions in the United States and Canada.

Lombardini has played an instrumental role in the more than 300 major guild and union contracts negotiations during her 27-year career at AMPTP, the organization said in a release.

She is now set to serve as the industry's chief negotiator on more than 80 industry-wide collective bargaining agreements on behalf of more than 350 motion picture and television producers.

"On behalf of the AMPTP member companies, we are very pleased that Carol will be the next president of the AMPTP," Barry Meyer, chairman and chief executive officer of Warner Bros., said in a statement. "She has a proven track record as a negotiator, deep knowledge of labor issues and excellent relationships throughout the industry with guilds, unions and the member companies alike. With almost three decades of experience at the AMPTP, we are confident that Carol's transition will be smooth and that she will be the strong leader these changing times require."

Lombardini was named acting president last April, following the retirement of former President Nick Counter.
