CEDAR RAPIDS, IA – The NSCA Education Foundation has elected Steven Emspak, partner at Shen Milsom & Wilke, LLC, to its board. Additionally, NSCA recently hired Barbra Snitker as managing director to spearhead fundraising for the foundation's scholarship programs.
Emspak is a long-time supporter of the foundation through Shen Milsom & Wilke and through his involvement with the industry band, the Drunk Unkles. The "Unks" have been involved with the NSCA Education Foundation for more than seven years, raising more than $450,000 for the Foundation's initiatives.
"For many years, I have respected NSCA for the knowledge and respect it brings to the industry through its education and training," Emspak said, noting the importance of education to the industry at large, particularly training in business management, sales and marketing efforts.
The foundation's training opportunities for students include the Electronic Systems Professional Alliance (ESPA) and its introductory-level certification in the electronic systems industry.
Snitker, who has participated in both political fundraising and event management working for Congress and the Executive Office of the President, is expected to play a key role in raising funds through corporate sponsorships and events to further promote the foundation's mission.
