With her choice, Trump has selected a veteran of social planning with two decades of experience. Lloyd — known in Washington as Rickie — has worked with the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies for the last five inaugurations and with the State Department’s Office of Protocol.
She most recently worked for a catering company in Arlington, Va., Design Cuisine.
