Plasa (the Professional Lighting and Sound Association) has announced changes to its Board, which see Koy Neminathan join as the Manufacturer’s Representative and Matt Lloyd appointed Vice Chair. These changes were voted for by Plasa manufacturer members and Board members respectively, and the terms began at the beginning of 2019.
Sales Director for Avolites, Koy Neminathan will represent the interests of manufacturers from all sectors. His experience of working at all levels within a major brand provides him with the practical skills and in-depth knowledge to ensure that manufacturers are supported and understood on a wide range of issues.
‘Plasa has the strength and power to assist manufacturers, allowing them to grow in every aspect,’ he says. ‘I look forward to being a part of that by building new and long lasting relationships with manufacturers and communicating their concerns back to the association.’
Former Manufacturer’s Representative and well-known industry figure, Matt Lloyd has moved to the role of Vice Chair. Lloyd’s expertise comes from his experience within the industry which includes being the co-founder of GDS. Meanwhile, previous Vice Chair, Martin Hawthorn is stepping down after ten years of serving with the Board but will continue to work closely with Plasa across the association’s activities and events.
Elsewhere on the Plasa Board, Dave Crump, President of Creative Technology has been re-elected as Rental and production Representative, and all other members remain in their current positions. Each Board member helps to steer the association forward with their collective industry insight and personal skillsets. The Board meet regularly to discuss and act upon crucial issues affecting both Plasa and the global industry.
