Following the election, Wayne Forte of Entourage Talent Associates has been announced as the organization’s new President and Partisan Arts’ Tom Chauncy has been elected as Vice President for the next term.
Matt Yasecko of Arrival Artists has been tapped as NITO’s new Secretary while Nelly Neben of Axis Management has been elected as NITO’s Treasurer.
All were chosen by NITO’s Board of Directors to serve a one year term.
“I am very much looking forward to taking the helm as President of NITO and to building upon the work initiated by my predecessors, Frank Riley (the true founder of NITO) and Jack Randall,” said incoming NITO President Wayne Forte. “Additionally, I thank the NITO board members for having the faith and trust to provide me with this opportunity. As one of the founding members, I have worked alongside our board members for years now, many of whom have labored tirelessly, from the days of SVOG, through to our Ticketing Task Force, reasonably priced touring insurances, pre-negotiated terms and conditions and our other current program priorities. I look forward to continuing to support and help guide and advise them, all in the pursuit of success for our members.”
“I’m looking forward to my new role as NITO’s Vice President and thankful for the work that Michel Vega did before me,” said incoming Vice President Tom Chauncey. “Together we’ve made incredible progress in the past few years and I’m excited to continue building NITO’s voice on behalf of our independent agency and manager members!”
