FISHERS, Ind. (January 14, 2026) – CEDIA, the Association for Smart Home Professionals™, is pleased to announce several additions to its Global Board of Directors for the 2026-2028 term. Following a slate vote overwhelmingly approved by CEDIA members, integrators Rich Green of Rich Green Design, Jennifer Mallett of Level Up Automation, and James Ratcliffe of Homeplay Ltd have now assumed their positions as Board Directors. Joining them will be Board-appointed members, Kris Hogg of Samsung and Maryellen Oswald of Somfy.

The newly elected slate of Officers forming the Executive Committee will be led by Chairperson Amanda Wildman. An integrator and President/Owner of TruMedia Home, Wildman becomes the first woman to hold the Chairperson role in CEDIA’s history. Alongside her, Edward Gilmore will serve as Vice Chairperson, Stuart Tickle as Treasurer, and James Chen as Secretary. Former Chairperson Alex Capecelatro will assume the role of Immediate Past Chairperson and remain on the Executive Committee.

“I am honored to be voted in as Chairperson of the CEDIA Board of Directors and am deeply grateful to our members, volunteers, and mentors who make this organization what it is,” noted Wildman. “After more than a decade of volunteering and working hands-on in the field, I look forward to carrying the knowledge and experience shared by this community with me as we chart CEDIA’s course together over the next two years.”

“CEDIA’s Board represents the best in the industry, and it is a privilege to work with them each day to guide our global trade association,” said CEDIA Global President and CEO, Daryl Friedman. “From my first day as CEO, Amanda helped me understand this industry from the integrator’s point of view, even having me serve as an ‘apprentice for a day’ with her team. Her years of commitment to CEDIA as a volunteer, educator, and Board member will serve her well in this important leadership role.”
