Shedan Maghzi, strategic advisor, Avidex, will remain as NSCA treasurer, while Don Mastro, chief revenue officer, AVI Systems, stays on as NSCA secretary.

Laurie MacKeigan, president, Backman Vidcom, will continue her board term as a board member for her third and final year. She will be joined by new board member Chris Wasp Jr., CEO, Ronco.

“Chris has already demonstrated tremendous energy, creativity, and commitment since joining the NSCA Board of Directors,” said Tom LeBlanc, executive director, NSCA. “We’re confident that his perspective will strengthen our efforts to support the entire NSCA community.”
