The National Systems Contractors Association (NSCA) board of directors elected a new executive committee in June, during its annual member meeting at the 2012 InfoComm show. Ingolf de Jong, president and principal partner of General Communications Inc. was elected the new president of the NSCA board of directors through June 2014. New officers of the NSCA board of directors include:

• Kelly McCarthy, president of Genesis Integration Inc. – vice president
• Ray Bailey, president of Lone Star Communications Inc. – secretary
• Michael Hester, founder and managing partner of Beacon Communications LLC – treasurer

The membership also elected board members:

• Jim Huber, director of sales and marketing, NOR-COM Inc.
• Josh Shanahan, president, Sport View Technologies (SVT)
• Ron Prier, owner and chief executive officer, RPAV

"Stepping into this role right now is very exciting,” said de Jong. “Changing regulations, a diversified distribution model, rapidly changing technology, and IT convergence — integrators must embrace these changes and modify their businesses to do so. NSCA is the one association that addresses these concerns and provides its members with information, tools and resources to effectively run their business. I’ve been using NSCA resources for years, saving my company tens of thousands of dollars by utilizing the information they have available.”
