Dear ADISA Members,

The Board and our Association want to extend our sincere gratitude to our Executive Director, John Harrison, for his 10+ years of exceptional service to our organization and its members. His tremendous leadership elevated ADISA’s presence within the industry, specifically the quality of ADISA conferences. We thank Dr. Harrison for his many accomplishments and contributions as he prepares for his retirement as ADISA’s Executive Director in 2023. As we approach his departure, John will continue to lead our organization and will fully support the strategic plan regarding this transition.

To ensure a smooth transfer of leadership, the Board has engaged outside support to assist us in our Executive Director search. We would also like to invite our members to reach out to ExecutiveSearch@adisa.org if you have a personal interest in this position. This open invitation for candidates will conclude on January 15, 2023.

We are grateful for the continued support of our members, Board, and Staff in this next chapter of ADISA. We look forward to working together to build upon the exceptional foundation Executive Director Harrison has cultivated since he assumed his role in 2012.

Wishing you all a very happy and healthy holiday season,
Sherri Cooke, ADISA President; Mike Underhill, ADISA President-Elect; and the ADISA Board of Directors
