Thomas M. Mobley, Jr. Assumes CIC Chairmanship
MCLEAN, VA, July 5, 2005. As of June 20, 2005, Thomas M. "Tom" Mobley, Jr., general manager and chief executive officer of the Washington Convention Center, is the chair of the Convention Industry Council's (CIC) Board of Directors. Mobley, formerly vice chair of the Board, replaces Michael J. Bandy, partner with Bandy & Associates, Inc., who has served as chair since January 1, 2005. Mr. Bandy's recent departure as president of the Trade Show Exhibitors Association (TSEA) prompted the change.
"Each of the Convention Industry Council's 31 member organizations has a representative on the Board of Directors," explained Mary E. Power, CAE, president & CEO of CIC. "Any vacancy in a Board of Directors position may be filled by the member organization, as it deems necessary or appropriate. That replacement is for the board position only, and does not cover executive officer positions, as a Board Member must have served at least one year as a member prior to the commencement of an elective term."
