• Anna Glover               
• Tony Hardin
• Kimberly Corbett Oates
• Jennifer Jacobs

There are a total of 18 Directors on the Board, one-third of whom are up for election each year.

Elected Officers for 2021-2024:

• Treasurer: Kim Scott
• Vice President for Exhibitions: Jim Streeter
• Vice President for Members, Sections, & Chapters: Annmarie Duggan

“The USITT Board of Directors are charged with the responsibility to advise, govern, oversee policy and direction, and assist with the leadership and general promotion of the organization. Directors are elected by the membership and serve a three-year term.”

The elected leadership provides direction to USITT’s future, and the Board class of 2024 is drawn from a broad spectrum of membership with experience in all sectors of the industry. Congratulations to those elected!
