CEDIA has appointed its global board of directors for the 2026–2028 term, following a slate vote approved by its membership.

Integrators Rich Green of Rich Green Design, Jennifer Mallett of Level Up Automation and James Ratcliffe of Homeplay Ltd have assumed their roles as board directors. They are joined by board-appointed members Kris Hogg of Samsung and Maryellen Oswald of Somfy.

CEDIA has also confirmed its executive committee, led by chairperson Amanda Wildman. An integrator, president and owner of TruMedia Home, Amanda becomes the first woman to hold the chairperson role in CEDIA’s history.

Edward Gilmore has been appointed vice chairperson, Stuart Tickle will serve as treasurer and James Chen as secretary. Former chairperson Alex Capecelatro will take on the role of immediate past chairperson and remain on the executive committee.

“I am honoured to be voted in as chairperson of the CEDIA board of directors and am deeply grateful to our members, volunteers and mentors who make this organisation what it is,” Amanda says.

“After more than a decade of volunteering and working hands-on in the field, I look forward to carrying the knowledge and experience shared by this community with me as we chart CEDIA’s course together over the next two years.”

CEDIA global president and chief executive Daryl Friedman says the new leadership reflects the strength and experience within the association.

“CEDIA’s board represents the best in the industry, and it is a privilege to work with them each day to guide our global trade association,” Daryl says.

“From my first day as chief executive, Amanda helped me understand this industry from the integrator’s point of view, even having me serve as an ‘apprentice for a day’ with her team. Her years of commitment to CEDIA as a volunteer, educator and board member will serve her well in this important leadership role.”
