鈥淭his [diversity] is a direct reflection of our changing marketplace and membership,鈥� he added. 鈥淭he expertise that this board brings will define the roadmap of our industry for the next three years and will continue to guide the ISLA team in their endeavors across advocacy, regulatory and market change.鈥�
