Beth Easterday selected to be next Executive Director of ACEC Ohio

Beth Easterday has been selected by the ACEC Ohio Board of Directors to be the organization's new Executive Director.  She will officially assume her duties July 1, upon the retirement of Executive Director Don Mader.

Currently Beth serves as a senior principal at the IBI Group, a member firm of ACEC Ohio, where for 17 years she directed major infrastructure projects and led initiatives in strategic and financial planning, funding, regulatory compliance, stakeholder engagement and media outreach.

Her selection culminates a selection process that began in the fall of 2015.  She was chosen from a field of 22 candidates and her appointment was unanimously recommended both by a six-member selection committee and subsequently by the Council's Board of Directors.

“The selection committee did an excellent job of conducting a thorough and transparent search for a candidate to fulfill the top leadership role at the organization," said ACEC Ohio President Lynn Miggins (KS Associates, Inc.).

"Beth has a unique skill set, being both an engineering industry leader and a professional with a track record of advocacy, working with policy makers, the public, and the media. We are confident that Beth will have an immediate beneficial impact to ACEC Ohio and its members," she said.
