As we move forward into the new year, I want to thank our board members, IEA staff members, and countless others (you know who you are!) who have played a role in positioning our association for future growth and sustainability. Because of your efforts, our association is well positioned to thrive in 2024 and beyond. During the inaugural Indoor Environments™ – Radon and Vapor Intrusion Symposium , which was held in Nashville, TN in late October of this past year, you elected the following members to serve or our board in leading our association into the new year: • David Hill (President-Elect) • David Gillay (Vice President) • Jan Fisher (Secretary) • Dan Potter (Treasurer) • Nathaniel Burden (Director) • Zan Jones (Director) • Terry Kerwin (Director) • John Mallon (Director) • Kevin Stewart (Director) Please join me in congratulating our new board members, as well as thanking the following members stepping down from their service on our board: Dawn Goard; Dave Kapturowski; Eric Lewandowski; and, Jim Emanuels. I want to extend a special thank you to Dave Kapturowski, who has served continuously on our board since its inception many moons ago – thank you, Dave. As I move into my final year as your president, I look forward to continuing to lead the execution of our strategic plan. We have accomplished many of the initiatives detailed within our plan over the past few years, but we have much more to achieve. Although we’ve freshened our brand to better align with the future of our association, the same pillars serve as our foundation: As always, our work is guided by the core principle of protecting the occupants of buildings from exposure to contaminants of concern within the built environment. As a member of our association, I encourage you to join our efforts by becoming active in your chapter or volunteering to join one of our national committees. Let’s make 2024 our most positive and productive year yet!
