With a mix of pride and sorrow I announce that SIIA President Jeff Joseph has resigned his post to take on a new role with the communications firm BCW Global. Jeff will continue to serve SIIA through the end of July.

I want to thank Jeff for his leadership over the past three years to serve and provide value to SIIA members. Collaborating with the SIIA Board of Directors and staff, Jeff helped us improve our association’s financial standing, launched excited and informative new programs and content offerings, enhanced our overall value proposition and repositioned SIAA as the critical association representing the broad information industry.

I am working with the Executive Committee and Board of Directors to determine next steps to select a new President and name an interim head. We will provide more information soon. In the interim, please contact the appropriate SIIA staff should you have questions or specific needs.

Please join me in wishing Jeff the best of luck as he embarks on his next journey.

Thank you,

Steven Emmert

Chair, SIIA Board of Directors

Senior Director, Government & Industry Affairs, RELX Inc.
