As 2021 chair-elect and 2022 chair, Vandenberg will be tasked with leading the board and guiding the strategic direction of the IPA.
“I’m eager for the chance to work alongside such bright and talented individuals throughout the IPA community,” said Vandenberg. “If the pandemic highlighted one thing for certain, it’s that investors are increasingly looking for options to diversify their portfolios beyond traditional stocks and bonds, and through my role as 2021 chair-elect, I’m grateful for the opportunity to lead the IPA in paving the way for broader access to portfolio diversifying investments and expanded transparency for all stakeholders.”
