She will succeed Brad Aemisegger, transportation director for Toledo Public Schools, who for six years has represented NAPT members in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and the Canadian provinces of Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward. Aemisegger plans to retire at the end of this year.

Rentner, industry engagement consultant for Tyler Technologies, ran unopposed for a 3-year term as NAPT’s Business Affiliate director, representing the organization’s business partners.

No one ran for NAPT President-elect. Per the association by-laws, the NAPT board will appoint a regional director to serve as acting President-elect and then determine when and how to fill the regional directory vacancy.
