Meet the NASCA Team
The North America Subsea Cable Association (NASCA) is guided by a team of elected officers who provide leadership, oversight, and direction on behalf of its membership. Working collaboratively with NASCA members and the Secretariat, the officers help advance the Association’s mission of promoting the protection, resilience, and continued operation of subsea telecommunications cable infrastructure throughout North America.
NASCA’s elected leadership consists of four officer positions: President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary. Each officer serves a one-year term, providing members with the opportunity to participate directly in the Association’s leadership and governance.
Our Team
Together, NASCA’s officers provide a strong framework for member-led governance, collaboration, and industry leadership, helping the Association effectively represent North America’s subsea cable community.
Candidates for officer positions are nominated by NASCA members, with elections held during the Association’s Annual Virtual Meeting each April. This member-led election process ensures that NASCA’s leadership reflects the experience, priorities, and collective interests of the organizations it represents.
