Chicago, IL — September 19, 2024 — Bostrom, a leading professional services firm specializing in association management, outsourcing, and consulting, is proud to announce that Bryan White, CAE, Chief Growth Officer, will assume leadership of the company’s consulting division in January 2025. This transition follows the retirement of Dede Gish-Panjada, effective December 31, 2024, who has served as Chief Consultant since 2017 with distinction and leaves behind an enduring legacy of excellence in leadership and association management.
Bryan White, a seasoned leader with extensive experience in strategic growth and business development, has been a key figure in driving Bostrom’s expansion initiatives. In his new role, he will oversee the company’s consulting division, continuing Bostrom’s tradition of providing high-impact solutions to associations seeking to enhance their organizational performance, governance, and growth strategies.
“We are thrilled to have Bryan take the reins of our consulting division,” said John Dee, CEO of Bostrom. “Bryan’s expertise in fostering growth and innovation makes him the ideal leader to carry forward Dede’s incredible work. His strategic vision aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver value-driven services and support to our association clients.”
Dede Gish-Panjada, who recently received the Excellence in Leadership Award at the AMC Institute AMCs Engaged Conference, has been a cornerstone of Bostrom’s success. Her leadership and guidance have been instrumental in building Bostrom’s reputation as a trusted partner for associations worldwide. As Dede retires, her responsibilities are being distributed across Bostrom’s Executive and Strategic Management teams, ensuring a seamless transition.
“I am honored to continue Bostrom’s tradition of delivering innovative consulting solutions,” said Bryan White. “Dede has set a high bar for excellence, and I look forward to building on her legacy to help associations navigate the challenges of the future.”
