IACC- Americas President T.J. Fimmano announced the appointment of Rebeccah Ray of Bethesda, MD as IACC’s eighth Board Associate following a detailed nomination process through which IACC member properties in the United States and Canada could nominate exceptional staff members under the age of 30.
When making the appointment, Fimmano noted “We were impressed with the quality of applications we received this year for Board Associate, and Rebeccah Ray made a considerable impression as someone with passion and vision who could continue to build on the innovative contributions work of those who have held this coveted position before her.”

She will attend and participate in IACC’s 33th annual conference at Pacific Palms Resort in Los Angeles, CA in March and will report to the Board on his observations and experiences at the end of her term.
