“The board followed a rigorous process and put a significant amount of thought into this decision. In the end we decided that this bold, forward looking decision to hire co-directors aligns with Association North’s history of embracing creative thinking and innovative ideas to ensure it is doing what’s best for the organization and our members,” says Ann Kvaal, CAE, Associations North Board Chair and Owner at AK Communications.
Since joining Associations North, Kisskeys’ and Ruzek’s experience and complimentary skills have helped build the organization as a trusted resource and voice in the association community. They have been integral to the association’s many successes throughout the past 10 years, which include the implementation of new programs, services and overall growth.
Board Chair Kvaal, CAE, indicated that the appointment follows a succession plan, which began in 2016. “We expect an organic transition from Kathy’s leadership to our new Co-Directors. Angela and Sarah are already well-recognized leaders in the association community and within Associations North. Their passion for the industry and its members will continue to serve Associations North well.”
