Dear IDA Community:

During our search for a new Executive Director, the Board of Directors of IDA has decided to continue the organization's practice of having one person serving as President of the Board, and another serving as Executive Director.

The Board of Directors has selected fellow Board member Eddie Schmidt to serve as the Interim Executive Director. Eddie has resigned from the Board to fulfill this interim role. We welcome Eddie in this new position and we are looking forward to continue in our service to the documentary community.
