LIAA Hires New Executive Director
Aug. 16, 2014
The Land Information Access Association (LIAA) in Traverse City has a new executive director - only the second in the nonprofit's 21-year history.
Whitney Waara has been hired to lead the organization after LIAA co-founder Joe VanderMeulen stepped down in July to pursue writing and consulting opportunities, according to a company statement. Waara most recently served as Vice President of Operations at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in Washington, D.C., and brings a background in strategic planning, grants, operations and organizational development. She will oversee all of LIAA's programs, including the UpNorth Media Center, which houses the public and government-access television services for northwest lower Michigan.
A Marquette native, Waara now lives in Traverse City with her husband and three young sons.
