ITAC names new executive director
SPRINGFIELD — Illinois Telecommunications Access Corporation (ITAC), a not-for-profit corporation tasked with serving the deaf and hard of hearing, deaf-blind, and speech impaired community with telecommunications needs, has selected Jeff McNeal as its next Executive Director.
McNeal will succeed the late Trudy Snell, who dedicated over 25 years leading the organization and was a beloved fixture in the community.
McNeal first joined ITAC as a volunteer, working to assist Ms. Snell in organizing and executing Outreach events and services to benefit the deaf and hard of hearing, deaf-blind and speech impaired community. He has been employed by ITAC since 2018 as the Assistant to the Executive Director. He has extensive experience in state government at many levels, including over three decades of work for the Illinois Department of Insurance, Illinois Department of Human Services, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and other state departments and agencies.
“The ITAC Board of Directors is very pleased to work with Jeff as our new Executive Director and confident that ITAC will be well-positioned for the future under his guidance in the years to come,” said ITAC Board of Directors Chair Joji Aguilar. “Jeff has a wealth of experience from his successful management career in state government, and also brings a long history of volunteering for, and experience at, ITAC, which will be of great benefit to the Board and the communities ITAC serves.”
Kate Kubey, Chair of the Illinois Telecommunications Access Program (ITAP) Advisory Council added, “... The ITAP Advisory Council is excited to have Jeff McNeal leading ITAC into the future, as we work together to serve this community with ever-changing telecommunications technology.”
As Executive Director, Mr. McNeal will report to ITAC Board of Directors and provide strategic direction, planning, and oversight for all aspects of the not-for-profit, including distribution of assistive telecommunications equipment for the deaf and hard of hearing, deaf-blind, and speech-impaired community, and provision of telecommunications relay and captioned relay service.
