NPMA President Russ Ives made the announcement immediately following the ratification by the NPMA Board of Directors. Highlighting Stumpf's impressive career and years of experience with the association, Ives stated, "The NPMA Executive Committee and Succession Planning Committee began working on this in August 2013. This process allowed us to focus on what we needed in a CEO to continue to meet NPMA's objectives and strategies for future growth and continued success. Stumpf's 19 year track record speaks for itself as a proven, results-oriented leader with a passion for our industry. We unanimously agreed that there is no better or more qualified candidate to take the reins and work cohesively with NPMA staff and industry members alike."

In her new leadership role, Stumpf will be responsible for the financial health and growth of NPMA as well as continuing the strong, personal relationships of the association with members, state associations and affiliated organizations and other key stakeholders, like federal and state regulators.

According to Chuck Tindol, incoming president of NPMA and Chairman of the Succession Planning Committee, "Under Dominique's leadership as COO and during this process, she has helped the entire NPMA team stay focused and energized. Her passion, integrity and "work hard, play hard" style will keep NPMA on track for the future."
