NSCA Welcomes New Leadership to Guide the Association Through 2026 – 2027

NSCA, a not-for-profit association representing the commercial integration industry, announced the election of new officers to its board of directors for 2026 – 2027.

Shedan Maghzi, strategic advisor at Avidex and current NSCA treasurer, assumed the role of president on July 1, 2026.

“The commercial integration industry continues to evolve at an accelerating pace, but what has always defined our success is our ability to adapt, collaborate, and lead through change. NSCA plays a vital role in bringing our community together, sharing knowledge, strengthening the industry’s capabilities, and helping integrators build resilient, future-ready businesses,” Maghzi says. “As I step into this role, I’m energized and optimistic about what lies ahead. I look forward to working alongside our board and staff to help NSCA continue to deliver meaningful value and remain a trusted partner for our members and our industry.”

Maghzi replaces Dale Bottcher, who is chief revenue officer at AVI-SPL. His term as president ends on July 1, 2026. Bottcher will serve as NSCA’s immediate past president, replacing Dan Schmidtendorff, president and CEO at Communication Company.

Don Mastro, chief revenue officer at FORTÉ and current NSCA secretary, will become NSCA vice president; Chris Wasp Jr., CEO at Ronco, will be named NSCA treasurer. Christina De Bono, president at ClearTech Media, will return to her role as NSCA secretary after most recently serving as NSCA vice president.

As Wasp Jr. leaves the board to join the executive team, and Laurie MacKeigan, president at Backman Vidcom, steps down after fulfilling her three-year term, NSCA is welcoming two new board members for the 2026 – 2027 term: Dawn Cagliano, president at IVCi, and Brandon Conick, COO at CTI. It was originally announced during the 2026 Business & Leadership Conference that Valley Communications Systems CEO Michael Tremble would join the board of directors, but a series of mergers and acquisitions forced NSCA’s leadership development committee to develop a new plan. Tremble will remain co-chair of NSCA’s business and leadership conference planning committee.

“The commercial integration industry continues to evolve rapidly, and our board of directors plays a critical role in ensuring that NSCA remains responsive to the changing needs of our members,” said Tom LeBlanc, executive director, NSCA. “This group brings an exceptional mix of strategic leadership, industry expertise and diverse perspectives that will help guide our priorities and strengthen the programs, resources and advocacy efforts our members rely on.”
