WTA names Barney as Deputy Executive Director
October 30, 2024
The World Teleport Association (WTA) has appointed Randall Barney as Deputy Executive Director effective immediately. In his new role, he will have primary responsibility for the association’s fundraising, member and industry service programmes, events and partnerships.
Randall joined WTA in 2006 as membership administrator after serving in administrative positions with other nonprofit associations. Under his administration, WTA launched a streamlined teleport directory, global teleports map and WTA’s Executive Dialogue Series. Advancing to membership director, he expanded the association’s membership and took the lead role in growing WTA’s successful Teleport Certification programme, which has certified more than 60 teleports around the world based on transparent, independently verified standards of quality in facilities, technology and operating procedures.
“Randall has become a well-known figure in the teleport and satellite industry,” commented executive director Robert Bell. “He represents WTA and leads discussion panels at dozens of conferences and trade shows each year and has built outstanding relationships with teleport and satellite executives. This appointment acknowledges the leadership role he has developed with our members and Board of Directors.”
