The Digital Signage Federation (DSF), a not-for-profit organization serving the digital signage industry, has elected its 2013 board of directors.

Per the DSF bylaws, Philip M. Cohen of Care Media Holdings Corp. assumes the chairmanship, while current chairman Alan Brawn of Brawn Consulting becomes immediate past-chairman and heads the past chairman’s council. Members elected include Kimberly Sarubbi of Saddle Ranch Digital as vice chair and Ken Goldberg of Real Digital Media as treasurer/secretary.

Re-elected at-large directors for a second term include Jeff Dowell of 3M Commercial Graphics Business Unit, Brian Dusho of BroadSign International LLC, Jack Sullivan of StarCom World Wide, and Carre Dawson of Harris Corp. Broadcast Communications.

Newly elected to the board this year are an additional five at-large directors who will serve two-year terms:

Randy Dearborn, MGM Resorts International
Spencer Graham, West Virginia University
Shaneeka James, America’s Minority Health Care Network
Janna Rider, American Dairy Queen Corporation
Richard Ventura, NEC Display Solutions

“My focus as chairman for 2013 will be to expand the DSF’s presence through both organizational and individual membership, as well as build on the legacy of past leadership by offering even greater value and services to our members,” says Cohen. “DSF members were more engaged in this recent election than ever before, which I believe is both a direct reflection of the quality of the candidates that offered to serve, as well as the level of passion and involvement of DSF members themselves. Your board looks forward to serving you in 2013.”
