From the Executive Director's Desk

On behalf of the NEPPA Executive Committee, I am excited to announce the appointment of David F. White, Esq. of Worcester, Mass., as NEPPA’s Executive Director.

The Executive Committee undertook a thoughtful and extensive national search, using the services of the executive recruitment firm, Dacri & Associates, LLC.  Throughout the spring and summer, the Executive Committee conducted multiple interviews on an exceptional pool of candidates before hiring Mr. White on October 1. 

David comes to NEPPA from the Massachusetts Dental Society, where he was the Director of Government Affairs and Client Services.  David has extensive association experience, is a Certified Association Executive (CAE) and a registered lobbyist, with wide-ranging experience in government affairs, strategic planning and development of educational programs.   

David received his B.S. in Political Science from Northeastern and Master's and Juris Doctor from Suffolk University Sawyer School of Management and Suffolk Law School, respectively.

Mr. White’s start date is November 2, 2015, and some of his initial objectives include meeting the membership, continuing to coordinate NEPPA’s OSHA Certification and developing short and long term goals and objectives with the Board.  His will formally address the organization at the Annual Membership Meeting on Friday, November 13, at the Chocksett Inn, Sterling, Mass.

I look forward to working with David and transitioning for the first two weeks of November, leaving the organization to his and staff’s capable hands at the conclusion of the Annual Membership Meeting.

Please join me in congratulating and welcoming David to our organization.  

Best Regards,

Savas
