Nancy Alderman Re-elected Head of IMA Incentive Travel Council
Nancy Alderman, CPIM, Associate Director, TSYS Loyalty & Prepaid, has been elected to serve as the President of the Incentive Travel Council (ITC) of the Incentive Marketing Association for the third year. Alderman has been involved in the travel industry for over 30 years, developing and implementing numerous consumer and commercial loyalty rewards programs for TSYS Loyalty. She has also served on the IMA Board and has served on several IMA committees.
“I am extremely honored and privileged to continue to serve as president of the ITC. We have weathered a storm, and although it is not smooth sailing ahead, there are blue skies on the horizon. It will take much support of the new ITC board members as well as collaboration across our IMA SIGs (Strategic Industry Groups) and industry partners to bring us to those calming waters. I predict incentive travel will be stronger than ever in 2022 and we will be ‘creating those moments that matter, and memories that last a lifetime,’" Alderman says in an IMA announcement.
The ITC also elected William Smith, Incentivations, Vice President; Lorraine Tillie, Travel and Leisure, Treasurer; and Greg Trzaska, Breakaway Card Services, Inc., Secretary. Tracy Ng, Program Manager, Delta Gift Cards, continues as Director.
The Incentive Travel Council focuses on helping organizations better understand how they can continue to expand their business performance through reward and recognition travel. The main objectives are to explore, promote, and educate on how reward and recognition travel initiatives can be effectively used to benefit business performance, strategies to improve or establish programs based on needs and objectives and industry activism in order to voice opinion on how legal and industry regulatory issues influence the performance of travel incentives.”
