IRTA Director Krista Vardabash Announces Departure

The International Reciprocal Trade Association�s President Lois Dale announced that Krista Vardabash, IRTA's Executive Director since 2000, has shared plans to pass the baton to a new IRTA Executive Director who is to be announced.

�We cannot thank Krista enough for what she has done for IRTA during a very challenging time,� Dale stated. �She has been a strong leader who has gained respect worldwide as our representative. For that reason we are confident that IRTA will transition well to a new leader whom we intend to have work side-by-side with Krista for some time.�

�My seven years with IRTA has been tremendous,� Vardabash reflected. �I have enjoyed so many aspects of this role. It is time to allow another person the same privilege and opportunity to lead, and I am eager to work with IRTA's selection for that position.�

Editor�s note:  I am going to miss Krista�s upbeat positive outlook, as well as her untiring efforts on behalf of the commercial barter industry. Her considerable contributions, knowledge, talents and character, will certainly be missed.
