Washington, DC � June 2004 � Following the announcement by TIA President & CEO William S. Norman that he will retire January 5, 2005, TIA National Chair Bruce Wolff, executive vice president, Sales & Marketing Programs, Marriott International, announced that the search for a replacement is underway. �There is consensus that it will be a challenge to find another leader who can serve and represent TIA with Bill�s high degree of excellence,� Wolff said in a memo to the Board of Directors. �Thus, we have concluded that we should begin the search process immediately.�

Wolff named a search committee consisting of current elected officers, Past National Chairs, and chairs of key Board Committees and National Councils. Past National Chair John Marks (2003), president & CEO San Francisco Convention & Visitors Bureau, will chair the search committee.
