Maria McNulty will take over as SIA’s chief operating officer; she will oversee strategy development, the search for new opportunities and the value the organisation delivers back to the industry.
In his role as director of member services, Kyle Kennedy will be in charge of developing tools and programmes that benefit SIA’s members. He will also manage outside representatives.
Todd Walton takes over as director of communications and marketing, making him responsible for leading SIA’s strategy and creative direction for social media, content and marketing. He will also work on increasing the organisation’s visibility in the industry.
The position of accounting and human resources manager will now be filled by Jo Gabrielson, who brings more than 10 years of human resource and management experience to SIA.
“With the team now in place and the new Park City office up and running, the energy and excitement is palpable,” said Nick Sargent, president of SIA. “The breadth of knowledge, passion and experience we have across our entire team enables us to be nimble and member-focused to lead the industry through our next phases. It’s a new time for us and it’s exciting.”
He added that the organisation’s move to Utah “symbolises the organisation’s efforts to initiate growth within the snow sports industry”.
