CEDIA Appoints 2013 Board of Directors

The Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA) last week announced its volunteer board of directors for 2013. The selections were made, according to CEDIA, in an effort to align the skills sets of the leadership with the initiatives set forth in the organization’s recently adopted Strategic Plan.

“Each nominee completed a detailed questionnaire and went through a series of interviews designed to assess their respective competence and experience in the skill areas required to support’s CEDIA strategic initiatives. This process allowed us to form a strong slate of candidates that possessed the skills and experience to propel CEDIA forward in a thoughtful manner with new energy and insight,” said Randy Stearns, chair of the CEDIA Nominating Committee. “Each new board member brings something to the table that provides significant benefit to the association.”
