IRTA Director Krista Vardabash Announces Departure

The International Reciprocal Trade Association’s President Lois Dale announced that Krista Vardabash, IRTA's Executive Director since 2000, has shared plans to pass the baton to a new IRTA Executive Director who is to be announced.

“We cannot thank Krista enough for what she has done for IRTA during a very challenging time,” Dale stated. ”She has been a strong leader who has gained respect worldwide as our representative. For that reason we are confident that IRTA will transition well to a new leader whom we intend to have work side-by-side with Krista for some time.”

“My seven years with IRTA has been tremendous,” Vardabash reflected. “I have enjoyed so many aspects of this role. It is time to allow another person the same privilege and opportunity to lead, and I am eager to work with IRTA's selection for that position.”

Editor’s note:  I am going to miss Krista’s upbeat positive outlook, as well as her untiring efforts on behalf of the commercial barter industry. Her considerable contributions, knowledge, talents and character, will certainly be missed.
