As you are aware, Chris Gierymski has stepped down as President of the Association in order to pursue other career opportunities.  We are grateful to Chris for his service and devotion to the organization since its conception in 2010, its formal incorporation in 2011, until his resignation in 2014.  He has played an enormous role in making this organization what it is today, and we wish him success in his new endeavor.

In accordance with the NDA’s Bylaws, Kara Looney, currently our Executive Vice President, will fill the remainder of Chris’s unexpired term as President.  The Board has also appointed JoAnn DiSanti to succeed Kara as Executive Vice President.    

With transitions come challenges, but Kara, JoAnn, and the rest of the Board are committed to continuing the NDA’s tradition of excellence and value to our members.  We are busy planning the 2014 Annual Conference so we can once again bring you interesting and exciting speakers, new educational opportunities, and a chance to grow your professional network.
