TEA commences search for next executive leader

On April 30, 2024, the Themed Entertainment Association announced that its Board had begun searching for its next Executive leader. Lindsey Nelson, current TEA Executive Director, will depart in June at the end of her contract term. As part of this announcement, TEA President Melissa Oviedo delivered a letter to TEA membership. An excerpt of the letter is reproduced below.

Under previous leadership, the TEA has navigated through various challenges successfully. Careful management and strong reserves helped carry TEA through the lean realities of COVID-19, and helped the Association recover as the industry rebounded. Most recently the current TEA Executive Director, Lindsey Nelson, brought strong professionalism to the TEA with her association experience and collaborative leadership style. Her expertise with organizational process and systems, governance, and Board education has positioned the TEA strongly for the future and its next chapter.

With Lindsey’s contract term ending in June, the Board has opened a search for a new Executive leader with strong business growth experience and deep industry knowledge and reputation to lead the association. As we move forward into a period of greater competition and broader growth opportunity, the TEA International Board is looking to continue to implement its ambitious 5-year strategic plan and to drive TEA’s presence and role in current, new, and emerging markets. The ideal candidate can bring a broader perspective of where the entertainment and experience industry is and, more importantly, where it’s going. Lindsey has agreed to remain with the TEA through the summer to assist with the executive transition.

Any interested candidates are invited to review the requirements of the position and can confidentially submit their interest directly to the Executive Search Committee at [email protected].
