Iowa Heartland SCTE Board for 2021

11/24/2020

0 Comments

 
The return of familiar faces and some new ones are part of the 2021 Iowa Heartland SCTE Board of Directors.
There were six Board terms open for 2021. After a call for nominations this fall, a total of 6 persons were nominated. Since the number of nominations was the same as the number of openings, an official election was not needed. The current Board approved the new positions at their meeting on November 24, 2020.
Returning for another two-year term on the Board are Josh Robinson with USA Communications, the Chapter treasurer; Eric Lage with Reinbeck Telecommunications Utility, the Chapter secretary; and both Dishon Clark and David Riley with Mediacom.
The new members of the Board for 2021 will be Brenda Stottler with Technetix and Kirk Hauskins with ImOn Communications. Both Stotler and Hauskins have served as associate board members in 2020.
Thank you to our new Board members for their leadership and support for the Iowa Heartland Chapter!
