DEMA Board of Directors Elects Officers and Establishes Committees for 2015


DEMA’s Board of Directors met in early March 2015 to strategize ways to help grow our Industry and welcome thenewly elected members of the DEMA Board of Directors.  An important outcome of the meeting was the election of Board Officers and the formation of seven committees and the selection of individuals to chair them.

DEMA’s 2015 Board of Director Officers include:
  • Tim Webb, President
  • Dan Orr, Senior Vice President
  • Darcy Kieran, Vice President
  • Tom Leaird, Treasurer
  • Werner Kurn, Secretary

Each Board Member can volunteer to work in various Committees based upon their areas of expertise and interests. Committees are tactical and the goals of Committees include creating new ideas, improving current programs and benefits, clarifying or resolving pending issues and soliciting feedback from Industry stakeholders.  Once data and other information is gathered, the details are provided to the Board at large to aid in strategic decision-making. 

The Committees established and those who will chair them for 2015 are as follows:
