The Information Technology Alliance (ITA), an independent membership association of leading mid-market technology professionals, consultants and product/service providers in North America, today announced new appointments to its Board of Directors. Kim Austin, Director, Strategic Alliances at Avalara, and Todd Perlman, President of BT Partners, have been appointed as ITA Board of Directors Chair and Vice-Chair, respectively.
In their new roles, Austin and Perlman join incoming ITA Board members Irfan Dossani, Partner in Charge of CAAS, Whitley Penn, and Michael Pynch, Partner and CIO, Wipfli, LLP. Dossani and Pynch join existing Board members Darcy Boerio, President, DAB Partners, John Fleischer, Senior Vice President and CIO at CBIZ, Kane Polakoff, Principal, Client Advisory Services Practice Leader, and Brian Terrell, Founder and Managing Partner, BTerrell Partners.
The ITA Board works collaboratively with new ITA President, Geni Whitehouse, CPA and Lissa Johnsen, ITA Vice President.
“As I move into this new role at ITA, I’m very encouraged and supported by the depth of industry and ITA knowledge, expertise and experience represented in our Board of Directors,” said Whitehouse. “It’s no understatement that we’re entering a bold new era of technology advancement with AI and other developments, and ITA will be expected to step up and lead education and information sharing efforts across members. That’s what this organization does best, and I’m fortunate to work with the individuals on this Board to fulfill that mandate.”
ITA members will next convene at the 2023 Fall Collaborative in St. Petersburg, Florida from November 5-7. More information is available at https://www.italliance.com/. To learn more about ITA’s unique collaborative experience, click here.
