Charlie Bray has resigned as IAAPA president and CEO, effective December 3, 2010.
Bray is leaving the association for an opportunity in the Washington, D.C. area and more details will be available in the near future.
"IAAPA has made tremendous progress under Charlie’s leadership," said IAAPA chairman Chip Cleary. "IAAPA has realised its goal of operating globally; we now have offices in Europe, Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region. We could not have done this without Charlie’s vision and guidance."
IAAPA first vice chairman, Bob Rippy, added: "With Charlie’s expert management, IAAPA was able to weather the impact of the economic downturn. He was instrumental in negotiating the agreements to host IAAPA Attractions Expo in Orlando for the next 10 years."
Bray was hired as IAAPA’s chief financial officer in June 2004. He was appointed president and CEO in February 2006.
