ILEA Announces Board Of Governors And RVP’s
July 30, 2020
The International Live Events Association (ILEA) has announced its 2020-2021 slate of volunteer leaders, including officers and directors of the ILEA International Board of Governors as well as the organization’s Regional Vice Presidents. Leaders were sworn in during the ILEA 2020 Annual General Meeting on July 29.
“It’s my great honor to lead this group of dedicated live events professionals,” said 2020-2021 ILEA International President Dana Macaulay, CSEP. “While this has been a challenging time for our industry, it has been incredible to see our events community come together to support each other, and with the commitment of our volunteer leaders, our organization has never been stronger or more relevant. I look forward to building on the invaluable work of my predecessor, Jennifer Trethewey, and working with our Board of Governors and Regional Vice Presidents to further grow ILEA’s reach and impact.
“Thank you to our founding ILEA members who came together over 30 years ago to create our association, to our past international presidents, board members, international and chapter leaders, and to all of our ILEA members,” Macaulay said. “Your contributions have brought ILEA to where we are today, and together we will continue to reimagine and build a strong future for the live events industry.”
