Diana Sanchez was appointed Acting Chief Operating Officer.

Schloegel and Sanchez, whose appointments are effective immediately, will also continue to serve in their current roles as Senior Vice President of Government Relations and Vice President of Operations, respectively.

“I am deeply honored to be appointed in this role,” Schloegel said, “and I know that the staff at the Associations will continue the great work that all of our constituents have come to expect.”

“I look forward to working closely with Scott and the boards for a smooth transition,” Sanchez said. “We have much to accomplish this year, and we will be running strong.”
