“I am thrilled and honored to begin my term as president of TMA,” Mitnick said. “While we continued to face challenges due to COVID-19 last year, it has been motivating to see our members continue to pivot to a new normal and uplifting to see the positive work put forth by our volunteers. I am eager to continue the great work of the 2021 TMA global president, Matthew English, CTP, and I look forward to working alongside my peers on the TMA board.”

Mitnick’s TMA involvement includes leadership roles at the local, regional and global levels of the organization. Mitnick has organized multiple TMA programs for her local chapter, TMA New Jersey. She also led the 2021 TMA chapter and individual awards program and served in many leadership roles, including vice president of conferences, vice president of chapter relations, chair and vice chair of the chapter presidents’ council and a member of the nominations committee. She is also currently a member of the TMA NOW (Network of Women) committee.

“Jane’s dedication to TMA and to the profession goes well beyond her work at the chapter and global level,” Scott Y.
