The National Registry of Rehabilitation Technology Suppliers’ (NRRTS) board of directors has appointed Valerie Nehl its new associate executive director.

NRRTS president Mike Seidel said Nehl “has the expertise to manage the organization and help lead NRRTS through the opportunities facing our industry and profession.”

Nehl, who is an American Red Cross board member, most recently served as a regional director for Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) and has extensive experience in finance and business administration.

Simon Margolis, a rehab industry veteran who has served with the National Coalition for Assistive & Rehab Technology (NCART) and with National Seating & Mobility, was named NRRTS’ new executive director last month.
