Armstrong served as Chief of Staff since late January. Prior to her role at the RNC, Armstrong was the Chief Executive Officer of the 58^th Presidential Inaugural Committee and was VP of the 2016 Republican National Convention. During her time at the RNC, she oversaw a large growth in the number of staffers at the headquarters, and the RNC has enjoyed record fundraising totals. 

On Twitter, her former colleagues wished her the best.

I think the world of Sara Armstrong. Sad to see her go but excited for what is next for her. https://t.co/rWj9zzga1d
