The election process for 2018 closed in early December with 13 percent of eligible voting members casting electronic ballots to determine who will serve three-year terms on USITT’s Board of Directors. Those elected were:
Board of Directors for 2019-2022:
- Kasey Allee-Foreman
- Andrea Bilkey
- Tina Shackleford
- David Stewart
- Jim Streeter
- Yolanda Williams
There are a total of 18 Directors on the Board, one-third of whom are up for election each year.
Elected Officers for 2019-2022:
- Vice President for International Activities: Kevin Rigdon
- Vice President for Education & Training: Tammy Honesty
- Vice President for Communications: Rafael Jaen
The elected leadership provides direction to USITT’s future, and the Board class of 2022 is drawn from a broad spectrum of membership with experience in academia, for-profit, not-for-profit, and other sectors. The USITT Board of Directors is charged with the responsibility to advise, govern, oversee policy and direction, and assist with the leadership and general promotion of the organization. Directors are elected by the membership and serve a three-year term. Congratulations to those elected!
