NITO – the National Independent Talent Organization – has elected a new president, officers and added board members for the coming year. High Road Touring founder Frank Riley will pass the president’s gavel to Jack Randall, president and agent at The Kurland Agency, and exit the board after co-founding and leading the indie agents and managers advocacy and trade group that emerged from the COVID crisis in 2020.
“I’m truly honored to have been elected as the President of NITO by my colleagues and peers, many of whom are fellow NITO co-founders,” Randall says of his election as NITO president. “Stepping into this role is both humbling and exciting, especially as I follow in the footsteps of Frank Riley, whose contributions and leadership have already had an immeasurable impact on our businesses and the global live entertainment ecosystem.
“While I know I can never fill his shoes exactly; I am inspired and empowered by his legacy and committed to building on the solid foundation he helped create. Along with Michel Vega, Matt Yasecko, Tom Chauncey, and the rest of the NITO Board, we’re proud to continue our mission as we embark on the next chapter.”
