Kelly Dobbins is announced President of DATIA
 
May 10th, 2023 - The DATIA Board of Directors is happy to announce that effectively immediately, Kelly Dobbins has been unanimously voted to assume the position of President of the Board of Directors for DATIA.  Kelly has been a member of DATIA for many years, serving on the Education Committee and as a Trainer, and most recently serving as the Vice President of the Board.  Kelly comes to her new role with a rich history in the industry as an entrepreneur who provides both C/TPA and collection services for local and national customers.  As DATIA embarks on our previously announced merger with NDASA, Kelly’s industry expertise and deep knowledge of the educational and other resources DATIA provides will bring tremendous value to the important work of joining together the best from our respective organizations.
 
“I have always believed in the importance of education, and at this time in our industry its critical that we work together to ensure that our organizations remain in lock step on the quality and consistency of our programming.  As we bring the many voices of the industry back together, I look forward to working with the DATIA Board and our colleagues with NDASA,” said Kelly.
 
In her new role, Kelly will lead the Executive Committee and the DATIA Board of Directors along with all merger-related activities.  Board members include Dean Klassy, Treasurer, Anthony Washington, Past President, Dr. Neha Badheka, Chandra DeWald, Chris Williams, and Angela Moore.  Nina French resigned her role on the DATIA Board of Directors earlier this month. 
 
DATIA is the coordinated voice for the drug and alcohol testing industry. It represents the entire spectrum of drug and alcohol service providers including collection sites, laboratories, consortiums & third party administrators, medical review officers & assistants, and testing equipment manufacturers.
