OCT. 21, 2013 (Atlanta, GA) The Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) today announced that Terry Cordova, executive vice president and CTO of Suddenlink Communications, has been elected as chairman of the board for the upcoming 2013-'14 term.

During a meeting here in conjunction with SCTE Cable-Tec Expo , the board accepted the resignation of Pat Crull, Ph.D., group vice president and CLO for Time Warner Cable, elected Chris Whitaker, area vice president of operations for Time Warner Cable, as an appointed Board member and elected a full slate of officers for the coming year.

Cordova is joined on the 2013-'14 SCTE Board's Executive Committee by:

Vice Chairman: Tony Werner, executive vice president and CTO, Comcast Cable;

Treasurer: Chris Whitaker, area vice president of operations, Time Warner Cable; and

Secretary: Jim Hughes, senior vice president, Global Broadband Sales, CommScope.

"The SCTE Board of Directors has played a key role in aligning the Society's objectives with the needs of the operators, vendors and cable workforce that it serves," said Mark Dzuban, SCTE president and CEO. "I'd like to thank our outgoing chair and treasurer, Mike LaJoie and Ed Marchetti, for their support over the past year. I'd also like to extend my gratitude to Dr. Pat Crull for her service and to welcome Chris Whitaker to the Board. I look forward to working with Terry Cordova, the rest of the Executive Committee and the entire Board of Directors to continue to drive value for the industry in the year ahead."

Following election of its officers today in Atlanta, the 2013-'14 SCTE Board of Directors conducted its first board meeting. The 2013 edition of SCTE Cable-Tec Expo , the Society's flagship event, continues through Thursday, Oct. 24.
