“I could not be more pleased with the composition and diversity of the 2020 board of directors,” said Sullivan. “A full extent of constituents is well represented, which emphasizes the value in ADISA’s process of holding open and inclusive elections as the key driver of the formation of its leadership.”
ADISA bills itself as the nation’s largest trade association representing the non‐traded alternative investment space. Its members are typically involved in non-traded real estate investment trusts, business development companies, master limited partnerships and private and public funds (LPs/LLCs), 1031 exchange programs (DSTs/TICs), energy and oil and gas interests, equipment leasing programs, or other alternative and direct investment offerings. The association was founded in 2003 and has approximately 5,000 members.
