ORLANDO, Fla., US – IAAPA, the global association for the attractions industry, announced the promotion of David Mandt to executive vice president (EVP) and chief engagement officer (CENO).

As executive vice president and chief engagement officer, Mandt will oversee member engagement and the global headquarters teams for marketing, communications, and education. He will be the team liaison to the Governance and Strategic Planning committees and will supervise the board and committee manager to support the work of the IAAPA board of directors and the committees around the world while also working closely with the association’s regional teams in support of their goals.

Mandt is a 38-year attractions industry veteran, who began his career in 1981 as a ticketing and parking host at Paramount’s Carowinds theme park in Charlotte, North Carolina. He remained in the attractions industry with Paramount Parks for 25 years. During that time, he held many senior leadership positions at Paramount’s Kings Island, Star Trek: The Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton - Las Vegas and Paramount’s Carowinds and later as vice president, advertising and corporate communications for Paramount Parks before joining IAAPA in 2006.

Mandt has spoken about the role and importance of crisis communications at events and conferences around the world, and in 2014 was named an honorary lifetime member of the American Coaster Enthusiasts (ACE) for his commitment and dedication to the attractions industry.  
Reporting directly to McEvoy, Mandt assumed the role of CENO and EVP May 6 and works at IAAPA’s global headquarters in Orlando.
