ESTA is pleased to announce that Katie Jang is the new Protocol Editor, taking over the role when Beverly Inglesby retires in April.
Jang (born McCulloh) has over two decades of marketing, communications, and advertising experience in the live entertainment industry working with Broadway venues, touring productions, traveling exhibitions, regional theaters, and more. Additionally, she worked for both ESTA as a marketing executive and Lighting&Sound America as a media executive. Jang can be reached at katie.jang@esta.org.
“I am thrilled to rejoin the ESTA team in this capacity and look forward to new opportunities within the publication while maintaining the core of Protocol for our dedicated members and subscribers,” says Jang. “And I am honored to carry on Beverly’s undeniably enormous legacy.”
Erin Grabe, Executive Director of ESTA, noted, “I am very excited to work with Katie again; her background and talent set her up for success.” Grabe added, “Beverly’s footprint on ESTA and Protocol is incalculable. Taking the publication from its humble beginnings to the technical powerhouse journal it is today, is largely owed to Beverly’s unmatched enthusiasm for this association and industry.”
From 1998 – 2002 Inglesby served as VP of Dealers on the ESTA Board of Directors. In 2004, armed with her journalism degree, she stepped in as editor for ESTA’s journal Protocol. “It has been a privilege to work with our passionate volunteer authors, valued advertisers, and Protocol team. During this time, ESTA has created an amazing portfolio of initiatives including the Technical Standards Program, ETCP, PERG, Rental Guard, and the Equitable Workforce Initiative, to the benefit of the entire entertainment technology industry. Sharing the news of these ESTA programs in every issue has been an honor. Thank you to ESTA and our enthusiastic readers for your inspiration and support.” Inglesby will retire after completing the Spring Protocol. Inglesby added, “Katie is a terrific addition to the ESTA team, and I’m confident she can help elevate Protocol to the next level.”
