North American Society for Trenchless Technology Announces Leadership Transition

The North American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT) announces a leadership transition as Executive Director Matthew Izzard concludes six years of dedicated service with the organization.

During his time with NASTT, Matthew provided steady and thoughtful leadership, guiding the society through several pivotal moments, including the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. His commitment, professionalism, and support of NASTT’s mission have strengthened the organization and positioned it for continued success. NASTT extends its sincere appreciation to Matthew for his many contributions and offers its warmest wishes as he begins the next chapter of his professional journey.

As part of this transition, NASTT has appointed Jessie Clevenger as Interim Executive Director. A search committee has been formed and will begin the process of selecting the next Executive Director to lead NASTT into the future. NASTT remains firmly committed to supporting the trenchless technology community through education, research, and collaboration, and looks forward to a smooth and successful transition.

NASTT moves into this next chapter from a position of strength, supported by a dedicated board, talented staff, and a vibrant membership. The organization’s programs, events, and strategic initiatives continue to move forward with strong momentum, supported by a deep bench of experienced professionals and dedicated members committed to delivering exceptional value to the trenchless community.
