After a storied career in the entertainment industry, ESTA’s Membership Manager, Frances Thompson, will be retiring at the end of 2021. For over two decades, she has been a vital force in the growth of the association and a galvanizing presence at trade shows and events. In 1996, Thompson was appointed to the ESTA Board of Directors, after being a part of the Business Resource Group for several years. She then served as Manufacturer Director until early 2000, when she was appointed as an Affiliate Director. Around 2001, Thompson joined the ESTA staff and has since held several titles. On her retirement, Thompson remarked, “I will miss engaging with members and staff. We are irreverent, creative, resourceful, opinionated, and uproarious. But most of my family and friends are as well, so I will be happy.” Thompson may be reached at [email protected] or 865-298-0267 through the end of 2021.Read More »ESTA Bids Fond Farewell to Frances Thompson and Welcomes Laura Hoepker
