The Wayne America Team has experienced a lot of changes in 2026, so we've taken some time to realign what our office will look like going forward. A big thanks goes out to the Wayne America Board of Directors for their assistance through this process, especially the Exec Board for their extra time, input, and guidance.

A special thanks to Luke Virgil, Rachel Miller, & Landen Sharer for keeping projects, events, membership perks, and our socials going, despite being short staffed. Luke is continuing as Director, Rachel is transitioning to Ec. Dev. Coordinator, which is a new role within the office, and Landen is staying on as Mktg Intern.

To complete the Team, we're hiring an Asst. Director, who will be responsible for membership development and interactions, as well as event planning and ex*****on. We're excited to take the next steps and hope to announce a new member of our Team soon!
