Erin Jordan, Operations / Governance

Erin joined PTNPA at the start of 2023 and brings with her extensive leadership experience in association management. After owning her own business managing nonprofits, she has most recently served as vice president for the Association of Food Industries (AFI) since 2017 and in that capacity was also associate director for three other nonprofit trade associations. She has spent her career managing the business of trade associations including events, partnerships, strategy, boards, trade show promotions, and membership recruitment and retention.

She lives in Spring Lake, NJ with her husband and enormous black lab, Samson. She enjoys walking the beach with them during any time of the year, and her extra time and money are spent on travel - plus any time she can get with her four grown children, their significant others and pets.

Trish Schectman, Meetings and Events Specialist

Having worked for PTNPA from 2011 to 2017, Trish was excited to return in 2022 to lead meetings and events.

During her time away from PTNPA, Trish pursued a unique opportunity to start a Bed & Breakfast and event venue on a real working farm. Having spent the better part of 30 years planning and executing large meetings and events, leading this capacity is a natural fit for Trish.
