Lori Rubinstein, current executive director in North America, becomes the new director of Membership, Skills, Standards & Technical. Jackie Tien, formerly head of publishing in North America, assumes directorial responsibility for all media, sales and marketing activities.
PLASA noted that this new structure would be a temporary arrangement, adding that the association is recruiting a series of divisional heads to work under the management team to lead the future development of PLASA’s five operating divisions: Events, Media, Membership, Skills, Standards and Technical.
PLASA also noted that interviews are underway for a newly created U.K.-based head of membership, and that, in early 2012, PLASA will appoint a new head of events who will develop the association’s international exhibitions and conferences, among other planned changes for 2012.
