Keith Foster, CPA | Chief Financial Officer

Years with IA&B:

8

Role at IA&B:

As Chief Financial Officer, my responsibilities include overseeing and supporting the daily activities of the accounting department, preparing internal financial statements, and providing financial information to staff and the board of directors. I also coordinate the preparation of our CPA firm-prepared annual financial statements and tax returns for our three non-profit companies and one forprofit company. I oversee banking and investment activity and work closely with the professionals at those institutions. Additionally, I serve as a trustee of our 401K plan and participate in plan design, administration, and form 5500 preparation.

Best part of your job:

I like the diversity of work involved in the CFO position. I also enjoy working with the staff, as well as the wonderful members who serve on the board of directors. These individuals truly strive to support the best interests of our members and the industry.

Favorite sports team:

I grew up in Western Pennsylvania, so my favorite professional sports teams hail from Pittsburgh (Steelers, Penguins, and Pirates). I follow some Penn State sports and cheer on teams at my alma mater, Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Go, Crimson Hawks!

What keeps you busy outside of work?

I enjoy spending time with my three kids, their spouses, and my three grandchildren. During the past few baseball seasons, a couple of friends and I have attended baseball games at different MLB stadiums. To date, I’ve enjoyed seeing games in 12 of the 30 stadiums, mostly here in the northeast. Now we have to venture south and west!
