On July 8th, the Board of Directors held our board elections. We’re excited to announce a new face on the board as well as several people in new roles.
President - Eric Wong
Vice-President & Marketing and Branding Director - Casey Brohard
Treasurer - Lane Armey
Secretary & Judges Coordinator - Daniel Piazza
Sponsorships Coordinator - Anthony Derris
Education Coordinator - Joey Staab
Technology Operations Director - Mike Reppucci
A big welcome to Mike Reppucci, who is joining our board as the new Technology Operations Director! We're so grateful Mike is volunteering for this key role, and we know his contributions will be a fantastic addition for our community.
Casey will be stepping away from the role of President and transitioning into the position of Vice President & Marketing and Branding Director for NCPA. Casey has been instrumental in guiding us through the challenges of the pandemic and skillfully navigating critical arena negotiations and raising the bar for our events. While Casey’s leadership has been invaluable, he is thrilled to embrace a lighter role, allowing him to dedicate more time to his family. We thank Casey for his unwavering commitment and look forward to his continued contributions.
As our community continues to grow at an astronomical rate, NCPA is always looking for people to join the Board of Directors or help out in other ways.
We’ll continue to provide exciting updates for our 2026 season. We hope to see you soon, and best of skill in the upcoming fall season!
