Cathy brings a wealth of experience from her previous roles with various associations and member-based organizations, including the American Soybean Association, American Optometric Association, and the National Association of Electrical Distributors.

Gina Clark, Director of Communications
Gina is excited to return to the association management industry, where she oversees the production of FEMA’s print and digital publications, as well as develop content for marketing initiatives and conference materials.
She has held communications roles with St. Louis-based organizations, including Enterprise, Bayer and SSM Health. Earlier in her career, Gina worked for Drake & Company, where she managed communications and membership responsibilities for the National Christmas Tree Association and the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association.
Tricia Kidd, Director of Finance
When members contact the Association office by phone, chances are Tricia’s pleasant greeting will be the voice you hear. Some of her daily duties include all of our accounting functions, maintaining membership records and being ready to direct members to any and all of the many services the Association offers.
If you have attended one of our conventions since 1999 the smiling face behind the registration desk was likely Tricia. From entering your meeting registration to dealing directly with hotels on our rooming lists, she does a great job of making sure our meetings run well and that have the sleeping room for the nights you request.
Sarah Stevener, Director of Meetings and Conventions
Sarah returned to the Association in December 2017 after several years of serving her family as “Chief Home Officer.” Sarah handles contracting with venues, session and event planning, and execution of the Association’s meetings and conventions.
