TERESA M. YOUNG NOMINATED TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE INTERNATIONAL SIGN ASSOCIATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Sign Biz President/CEO First Woman Ever Elected To This Committee

Dana Point, CA (February 2, 2005)
The International Sign Association (ISA) Board of Directors convened their first meeting of the year on January 29, 2005, and presented one nomination for the Executive Committee, for a term that commences January, 2006. The nominee is Teresa M. Young, President and CEO of the Sign Biz Corporation, who has represented the Digital Sign & Graphics Division on ISA's Board of Directors since January of 2002. cThe board will meet on April 3rd in Las Vegas and vote on the current nomination. At present, there are no other nominations before the board for the office of Secty/Treasure. The total term commitment on the Executive Committee is four years. After the first year as Secty/Treasure, the position moves to Vice-Chair for a year, then to Chair of ISA's Board of Directors. The fourth year of the term is served as Past Chairperson. 

If Young is elected in April, her term marks the first time in ISA's 60-year-history that a woman sat on the Executive Committee. Women outnumber men 139 million to 133 million in the U.S. "The technologies they create are shaping our homes, workplaces, media and worldview. The sign industry has benefited tremendously from women in leadership roles," explains Young. 

"I have been active with ISA since the early 90's, commencing with Bill Deal's term as president of NESA. Since then, I have been impressed with the revisioning process the Association has undertaken, and believe that this has given ISA more efficacy to champion the sign industry. Specifically, the demand for our government relations efforts, and our opportunities for partnership as we expand our education and certification programs is a gratifying confirmation of the impact ISA has had in the lives and careers of our members." 

"Thanks to the hard work of our founders and previous boards, and the new ISA President, Lori Anderson, we have a solid foundation on which to build as ISA becomes the most powerful voice for all segments of this incredible industry. Women continue to make significant contributions to the sign industry around the globe, and I am pleased to be playing a role in our industry's most supportive association," says Young.
