ASTA names new CEO
ASTA has announced the appointment of Zane Kerby as the Society’s new president and CEO.
Kerby moves to the helm of ASTA from his former position at the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) as senior vice president of events, sponsorship and advertising.
Under new bylaws adopted by the ASTA board of directors in 2012, Kerby’s responsibilities will include reporting directly to the board of directors on all internal and external ASTA business as well as being the primary spokesperson for ASTA.
"ASTA is excited to bring Zane Kerby’s energy and experience to its top staff position," said Nina Meyer, ASTA chair of the board who has served as Interim CEO since the resignation of Tony Gonchar in July 2012. "We believe he is the right person at this critical time in the Society’s history when we are re-imagining ASTA’s annual meeting and fighting to preserve the integrity of travel selling for travel agents. He is familiar with our issues and understands our strengths and our challenges. We look forward to working with him to enhance ASTA’s legacy."
